Ginny “GiGi” York, 51, died unexpectedly but peacefully, on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at her home. A luncheon to celebrate Ginny’s life will be held at noon on Tuesday, January 13 at Ms. Susan’s Catering, 1215 Jordan Street in North Liberty. Memorial contributions may be directed to The Iowa City Animal Shelter.

Ginny was born on May 5, 1957 in Iowa City, the daughter of James and Mary (Beeler) York. She graduated from Iowa City West High School in 1975 and later went on to graduate from Kirkwood Community College. Ginny had a long and successful career as a Graphic Design Artist, working both for ACT and Buckle Down Publishing.

Ginny was a remarkable person who had an unbelievable sense of humor. Not a moment passed where she wasn’t either smiling or laughing. She will be remembered for her love of her nieces and nephews and for her pets. Ginny simply loved life and had a tremendous impact on all of those around her.

She is survived by her father James York of North Liberty, a sister Lisa (Chris) Godwin of North Liberty, a brother John York of Shueyville, and her nieces and nephews: Jason York, Jim Godwin and his fiancée Lynn, John (Dannie) Godwin, Kelsey Godwin and Jordan Godwin. Also surviving Ginny is her loving dog Jazz.

Ginny was preceded in death by her mother Mary, a brother Dean, a sister Lori, her grandmother Helen, and her two dogs Rufus and Bear.
