VIRGINIA ”GINNY” W. FOOT
Born July 19, 1941 to Joseph White and Jane Montgomery White, Ginny was raised by her grandmother Marie White with adoring “brothers” Dr. Ed and Dr. Ike White and helped by granduncle Roland Somers. She grew up on the Virginia’s Eastern Shore (see Chincoteague) and attended Mary Washington College. Ginny worked in radio in Accomac, VA and Richmond, VA before she was a stewardess with Central Airlines from Kansas City.
For 10 years she was wife of Frank Messer, a baseball announcer. Ginny found lifelong friends in the Oriole and Yankee clubs, before becoming a Marlins fan.
In 1977, she married Bob Foot, who helped her start The Art of Framing, Inc. In the 29 years in business, Ginny served as President of the Chamber of Commerce of Boynton Beach and member on some of the City’s advisory boards.
The Church was important to her and she provided leadership in Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, West Palm Beach and served as Lay Director of the Diocese Cursillo Secretariat.
Bob and she voyaged from Sitka to Dutch Harbor and Kotzebue and midpoints in Alaska on several trips and enjoyed tours in Europe and China.
On Memorial Day in 2022, she was diagnosed with cancer and died on June 17, 2023 after many treatments.
Ginny leaves Bob, his daughter Sarah, nieces Lee Kilduff (Bill), Laura Anderson (Scott), Carrie White (Paul Campsen), Somers Farkas (Jonathan), Kellam White, and nephew Ned White, Bob’s brother Ted Foot (Pat), sister-in-law Karen Foot (late Dave) and other nieces and nephew and grand nieces and nephews and many friends from the churches, neighborhood, and beyond.
