Obituary for Virginia Patricia "Ginny" Duquette
Longtime Oak Harbor resident Virginia “Ginny” P. Duquette, died May 19, 2015 at Providence Hospital in Everett, WA at the age of 76. She was born in Napa, CA on October 4, 1938 to Lawrence and Josephine Rossi. She fell in love and married Wilfred “Skip” Duquette and lived the life of a Navy wife before finally settling in Oak Harbor.
Baking, helping others, volunteering at St. Augustine Catholic Church, the schools, square dancing and Emblem Club were activities Ginny enjoyed. She was a member of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club #450, Red Hat Society, and Whidbey Whirlers. Spending time with her daughters, son-in-law, two grandchildren, and friends brought great joy to her life.
Ginny is survived by her daughters Bernie Duquette of Renton, WA and Ginny (John) Gannon of Newcastle, WA; grandchildren Maura and Brian Gannon and special friend, Bert Bjorling. She was preceded in death by her husband, Skip in 1995 and daughter, Joanne who died on February 12, 2015, and one sister, Catherine Kear.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 6, 2015 at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Rev. Jerry Kienzle as Celebrant. Following Mass, Oak Harbor Emblem Club will conduct a short ceremony at Wallin Funeral Home which will then be followed by a reception. Rite of Committal will be held at Sunnyside Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to the Emblem Club or St. Augustine Catholic Church Kitchen Fund.
Arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or condolences, please visit Ginny’s page in the Book of Memories on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com
