Virginia E. ”Ginny” Sherman, 81, of Walton passed away Monday, Oct. 3, 2022 at Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, following a long illness.
Ginny was born on Dec. 11, 1940 in Seneca Falls, the daughter of the late Earl and Eunice (Woodford) McCann. She moved to Walton as a young child and graduated from Walton High School, class of 1959. On Sept. 17, 1961 she married William H. Sherman in Walton. He died on May 27, 1990.
Ginny worked as a geriatric care technician at Delaware County Infirmary in Delhi for many years before retiring. She was a faithful member of the New Hope Community Church. Ginny enjoyed taking pictures, gardening, word searches, getting her nails done, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a great sense of humor and always had a clever wisecrack for you. Her laugh lit up the room.
Ginny is survived by her loving family, her daughters Vinnie (Dan) Hodges and Connie (Kevin) Armstrong all of Walton, and Sue (Robert) Mann of Middleburgh; grandchildren Jill (Nic), Amy, Brad (Katie), Leeanna and Nikki; great-grandchildren Henry, Thomas, Owen and Carter; her church family and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
