Virginia “Ginny” Valeria Misak (Sepanik), age 91 of Wyoming - wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away on Thursday, April 4, 2019. Virginia was born in Chicago on August 26, 1927 and grew up on a farm in Wayland, Michigan, which remains in the family. She married Steve Misak and they shared a life together for 61 years. Ginny was a long-time, active member of St. John Vianney Church.

Virginia worked for Powers Electric, and then enjoyed volunteering for 32 years at St. Mary’s Hospital. Ginny enjoyed bowling, being social, and wintering in Florida for many years. Ginny was a woman who made herself useful. Her kids could always count on her for babysitting, washing windows, yard work, etc. She was well known for baking pies, holiday nut roll, and fishing on Pickerel Lake. “My grandchildren are my hobby,” Ginny often said proudly.
