She is survived by sisters, Charlotte Morgan Crawford and Shirley Morgan Griffith; also brother John Morgan. She was predeceased by brother Michael G. Morgan and sister Kay Morgan Nevinger. Ginny grew up in Wyoming County, NY and graduated from Warsaw Central High School in 1943. She married the love of her life, D. F. Barry July 20, 1943 in Camp Lejeune, NC, prior to his going to the pacific during WWII. During her formative years she worked in various capacities with local businesses, including Montgomery's. Ginny was an early entrant into the business world and held various positions with a major telecommunications company, culminating in management in the companies' construction segment. Upon her retirement from the communications industry, she resumed her working career in the Livingston County Probation Office. Her social activities included active membership in the retired communication workers network, Young at Heart Membership and active involvement in the organ donation initiative. Her love of landscaping and gardening is legendary. Ginny will forever be remembered for her quick wit, frankness, endless energy and the passion and delight for her family and friends. "A Precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled: A place is vacant in our heart, The emptiness never filled, A loved one proudly given, And while her body slumbers here, Ginny's soul is safe in Heaven." Mary Virginia requested a private church mass and graveside service for immediate family members at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church and Cemetery, Warsaw, NY. In lieu of flowers, Ginny requested that memorial donations be sent in her name to the Teresa House, 21 Highland Rd., Geneseo, NY 14454. The Barry/Biggie Families wish to thank all those who provided loving care for Ginny during her lifetime.
