Virginia "Ginny" Limbacher

November 8, 1932 - June 7, 2015

Virginia Dare “Ginny” Limbacher, of Hebron, CT (formerly of Plant Road in Clifton Park and Hyde Street in Saratoga Springs, NY) died June 7, 2015, at the Apple Rehab., Colchester, Ct. She was 91. Ginny was born in Oakfield, ME to Geneva Shorey Crandall. Her father Abel Crandall died 24 days before she was born. She wed Howard Limbacher in 1950 and enjoyed sixty-two years of marriage before his death in 2012. She worked at Montgomery Ward in Menands, NY and later served as a bus driver for the Shenendehowa School District, for which she received recognition for her dedication and careful driving. There was never a more avid New York Yankees fan than Ginny. “Win or lose, that’s my team,” she said. She also enjoyed gardening, league bowling, playing cards, and the family’s yearly vacation to Maine. She is remembered as a particularly excellent baker. She never lost her childlike delight in snow and adored cats and horses. In her later years, she participated in equine-facilitated therapy. Ginny was predeceased by her husband Howard, her parents, her beloved step-father Paul F. Sherman, sisters Goldie Parker and Jean Dorris, brothers William Crandall and Darrell Crandall, granddaughters Nicole and Leslie Cootware, and great-grandson Quinn Cootware. Survivors include daughters Cheryl Colby of Danby, VT, Rhonda Shore of Minneapolis, MN, and Melissa Crandall-Everett (Ed) of Hebron, CT; grandchildren Michelle Perkins, Joshua Cootware (Nichole), Zachary Kretchmer, Eliza Conrad (Kevin), Alex Kretchmer (Kelly), Sharona Watson (Jason), Theresa Dupont, and Anthony Everett; great-grandchildren Tony Perkins, Lucas Perkins, Ellery Cootware, Michael, Zoe, and Sam Kretchmer, Madeleine and Daphne Conrad, Maddox Kretchmer, and Ana Watson; younger brother Paul Sherman (Doris); numerous nieces and nephews (in particular Ellen Martin, Patric Sherman, Rebecca Graham, Claire Crandall, and Cindy Brawn); and special friends Rosemary Hopps, Charles LaGue, Jo Valente, Monique Allaire, Ryan Twomey, and Gene Hersey. Ginny’s family would like to express their thanks to Dawn Anderson and the staff of the memory care unit at Emeritus at Mountain Laurel in Glastonbury, CT, to the staff at Apple Rehab in Colchester, CT, and to Masonicare Home Health and Hospice. A closed casket funeral service will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2015 from 11am -1 pm at Tunison Funeral Home, 105 Lake Ave., Saratoga Springs, NY during which family and friends may share their memories of Ginny. Burial will be at the Gerald B.H. Solomon-Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuylerville, NY. At 2 pm, following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ginny’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org), Masonicare Home Health & Hospice (www.masonicare.org/mef), or SPIRIT Open Equestrian Program, 2705 West Ox Road, Herndon, VA 20171 (http://spiritequestrian.org) Online remembrances may be made at www.tunisonfuneralhome.com
