Bernard McGinley. They later moved to Michigan in 1947, where she resided until her death. During Ruth’s many years in this area, she was a homemaker and worked in finance as an administrative assistant. She always willingly gave her time and talent to many causes, from assisting at her daughters’ schools to volunteering at her church and with the Red Cross. Mrs. McGinley was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard “Bernie” in August of 2001. All of her siblings, a brother and three sisters, have also passed away.

Almost to the end, she could be heard singing the MI Fight Song, “Hail to the Victors.” In keeping with the spirit of this holiday season that Ruth so much loved and because their mother always rejoiced in helping others, Maureen and Sharon ask that you reach inside your hearts and make a contribution to brighten the lives of those in need.
