Community Singers.

Ginny loved her friends and was always delighted to welcome them to her home at any

determination that kept her going until her final days.Ginny will be missed by her many special friends and family.

Grace Episcopal Church in Bremo Bluff, Virginia followed by a reception. The Rev. Jones will officiate

Arrangements by Sheridan Funeral Home, Kent Store, VA.

A small building, it was outgrown and retired as a church in 1924. A new, larger brick church was erected (the current Grace Episcopal Church,) and the now Parish House/Chapel was moved yet again behind the new church. It is listed in both the National and Virginia Registers of Historic buildings.

The Ranson House, which is the small white house on the north side of the Parish House, briefly served the community children as a schoolhouse and currently houses our church office.
