Gina Ann Kinney was born on February 24, 1977 in Cherokee, Iowa to Eugene 'Gene' A. Kinney and Sally L. (Christianson) Kinney. She attended school in Cherokee, IA and graduated with the class of 1995. Following high school, she attended Kirkwood Community College and Western Iowa Tech. During her education she worked at various nursing homes in the area. After college, she began her career doing various jobs in the medical records field. She really enjoyed her time working with the many people at the care centers as she helped them convert to electronic medical records.

Gina enjoyed astronomy, spending time with her Chihuahuas: Sammy and Peanut, sitting outside on the farm, and spending time with her friends. Gina had an infectious smile and laugh that will be missed. Gina had a good attitude all the way through, never complaining about treatments or setbacks. She was especially grateful for the care she received and the support from family and countless friends.

Left to cherish her memory are her fiancé, Travis Sandahl of Meriden, Iowa; Dad, Gene Kinney (Gail McDonald) of Meriden; Mom, Sally Kinney of Akron, Iowa; a second mother, Pat Haage of Akron; brothers: Travous Kinney of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and Levi (Becky) Kinney) of Le Mars; a niece, Naomi Kinney of Le Mars; and her dog children: Sammy and Peanut.
