Ginny was born in Crestline and attended Crestline schools. She was employed for many years at Buckeye Central High School as a cook and custodian. She was a member of Crouse Memorial Lutheran Church in Tiro.
Ginny was a loving mother; a strong, independent woman; and a hard worker. She was a wonderful cook who loved to crochet, enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, loved her flowers, and being outside sitting on her porch.
She is survived by her five children, Michael (Maria) Horning of Bradenton, Florida; Donna Jean (Francis) Millenbaugh of New Washington; Patricia (John) Bellono of Huntsville, Alabama; Susan (William) Herschler of Galion; and Pam (Keith) Loy of New Washington; her eight grandchildren, Michele (Bob) Nolen, Laura Millenbaugh, Julie (John) Schoenfelt, Scott (Melissa) Gates, Tiffany Gates, Ryan (Michelle) Loy, Kyle Loy and Teresa Bellono; three step-grandchildren, Meredith (Eric) Haskins, Gina (Jason) Harper, and Sarah (Brett) Griffith; 11 great grandchildren, seven step great grandchildren, and two step great great grandchildren, her sister Carolyn Studer of Ontario, her sister-in-law Cassie (John) Poffenbaugh of Galion, her brother-in-law Herman (Mary) Seibert of Tiro, and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Norman J. Horning, her sisters Georgia Zaebst, Genevieve Freeze, Ruth Flegm, Rosemary Shatzer, Mary Seibert, her brother John Poffenbaugh, and her son-in-law Bill Gates.

To Mrs. Wiltrout’s Family:
So sorry to hear about your loss. You have my prayers and thoughts. I have and will always think of her. As I grew up next door to her, I have many fond memories of talking with her on the front porch and during some visits getting fresh plums or some ice cream. I always remember her smile at school during lunch break and talking with her while in line for lunch. I will miss her very much.
