Virginia Bault Garvine

Virginia “Ginny” Bault Garvine, 85, passed away on March 17, 2026, in West Grove, Pennsylvania. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the beloved daughter of William V. Bault and Florence May Bault (née Stewart).

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard W. Garvine.

Ginny is survived by her children, Randolph E. Garvine and Marcia Andrea Bergner; her daughter-in-law, Samantha Kology Garvine; her cherished grandchildren, Lucille Mae Garvine, Evelyn Mary Garvine, and Josephine Virginia Garvine; and her brother, William V. Bault of Grass Valley, California.

A 1958 graduate of Cecilian Academy in Philadelphia, Ginny carried a lifelong love of learning and exploration, spending much of her life traveling and continuing to grow in knowledge and experience. She had a deep appreciation for art and studied it in the 1970s, a passion that remained with her throughout her life.

Her years at Jenner’s Pond were filled with friendship and laughter. She formed close and lasting bonds there and treasured those relationships deeply. She was an active member of the community, serving on the library committee for a decade, including time as its chairman. She also worked in the Heron’s Nest gift shop, where she spent many years as the card buyer, as well as being a loyal and enthusiastic customer.

Ginny had been a member of First Presbyterian Church of Newark, Delaware since 1977, reflecting her faith and commitment to community throughout her life.

Ginny was a compassionate person who often served as a caregiver to family members, always guided by a strong sense of right and wrong. As a mother, she was consistently loving, supportive, and deeply proud of her children and grandchildren.

Her hope would be that thoughts of her bring a smile to those who knew her. She will be greatly missed as she joins her husband, Rich, in the great hereafter.
