GINNY JARRETT

1956 – 2024

Co-Founder

Roanoke Women’s Foundation

 

We are deeply saddened to announce Ginny’s passing on Sunday, July 7, 2024. She lived a beautiful life, and we know she will be beautifully remembered.

In the words of dear friend and RWF Co-founder, Kandy Elliott, “Ginny loved nothing more than Roanoke Women’s Foundation and the many ways in which it has impacted so many lives. The same fierce determination and grit that served as the impetus for the co-founding of the organization also served to extend Ginny’s life beyond what her doctors believed possible. It is my hope is that you will think of Ginny today and in the days ahead with love and affection, knowing that is how she thought of you.”

A funeral celebrating the life of Ginny Barton Jarrett will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church on August 16, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a gathering in the Fellowship Hall of the church. In lieu of flowers, the consideration of donations to the Roanoke Women’s Foundation Founder’s Fund, c/o Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia, 611 S. Jefferson St, Roanoke, VA 24011 or cfwesternva.org was Ginny’s wish and would be greatly appreciated.
