Virginia Kay Barron

Virginia Kay Barron, better mow as Ginny, died March 1, 2006 at her home in Havre de Grace, Maryland at the age of 58. After being diagnosed with advanced uterine cancer in March 2005, Ginny continued to put others first as she battled her disease for the past year. Born in Somerset Pennsylvania on February 15, 1948, Ginny unknowingly began her lifelong purpose of touching the lives of others while always putting her needs and desires second. After serving as the Somerset Fire Queen and a Pennsylvania Maple Princess, Ginny graduated from high school in 1966, the same year she became the Pennsylvania Laurel Queen in Wellsboro PA After attending secretarial schoQl in Pittsburgh P A, Ginny married her high school sweetheart, Jim Barron, in September of 1967. The couple had a lot of fun with the fact that Ginny never had to change her last name. After raising her two children, Gregory & Deena, Ginny moved onto the perfect job for her, receptionist at "Odyssey - The Salon", a hair salon in Aberdeen, Maryland. There, on a daily basis, Ginny continued to make a difference by touching the lives of others. When her sister Nancy suffered a brain aneurism in 1998, Ginny quickly took a leave from her job to be with Nancy for two years through her rehabilitation. Ginny was a gorgeous woman of striking beauty. But that beauty was far from skin deep as she projected her inward beauty to all she met. She was a very strong willed person, very sure of herself and sometimes very head strong. Her niece, Lori Barron Cork of Birmingham Alabama always said Aunt Ginny had "strong leadership skills". She was the type of person that could walk up to a stranger on the street and within minutes that person felt like they had mown her for a lifetime. When she walked into a room everyone mew Ginny was there. Ginny was preceded in death by her father Dean Bowman Barron and her mother Betty Jane Barron, both of Somerset P A; her brother Larry Lee Barron of Birmingham Alabama who just lost his battle with prostate cancer on February 21, 2006. She is survived by her loving husband of 38 years, James Barron; her son, Gregory Barron, of Rising Sun Maryland; her daughter Deena Madore and her husband Steve Madore of Aberdeen Maryland; four grandchildren, Jefferey Barron, Christopher Barron, Griffin Barron; Brynn Renee Madore; her sister-in-law, Linda Barron of Birmingham Alabama; one sister, Nancy Barron Dady of St. Louis Missouri; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
