I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ginny. She was my school crossing guard when I was a child, and she crossed my son as well. She will deeply be missed. My prayers go out to all of her family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Shankle family. I met Mrs. Ginny about ten years ago. She was the crossing guard at Lisby- Hillsdale. I had the chance to talk to her every morning when I went to school. She was very dedicated to all the students she crossed. Her main concern was for the safety of the kids. She will be missed by many.

Mrs. Ginny was the crossing guard when my oldest went to school around 25 years ago. She was also friends with my Mother who passed away 2 years ago. To be out of the body is to be present with the Lord. She will be missed!!!

I was saddened to hear Ginny's passing. She was a very sweet lady. She always cared for children and loved by them and by many parents out there. She was a crossing guard lady to my son's school in Lisbey-Hillsdale. She will be missed. I will be thinking of her and her family during this difficult time. May you RIP Ginny and we know you're in a better place now :(
