Virginia 'Ginny' Violet (Winker) Malwitz

Heaven earned a lovely woman; Virginia (Ginny) Malwitz entered this world July 3,1926 and departed to be with her beloved October 14, 2022.

Born in Necedah, WI and raised on a farm in Mauston, WI she was the second youngest in a family of twenty-one - Ginny was no stranger to hard work, big love, and plenty of laughter. Ginny took care of many children in Fox Point where she and Charles lived for many years. They moved to Athens, TN in the late 1970's. Ginny will be remembered by many as a loyal and generous member of her church and community. She was an Athens Garden Club member and a community Meals on Wheels volunteer. Often the life of the party and hostess of many Sunday card games, she was also an early advocate of the planet and a hardworking lover of life and the people in it. May her big presence live on in our hearts.

Reunited in Heaven with her husband of 55 years, Charles (Chuck) Malwitz. Likely playing cards with Ginny up there.
