Gill, Virginia “Ginny” (Rossi), loving wife and mother, passed away on January 28, 2011, at Wayside Hospice in Wayland, MA.

Born in Nashua, NH on November 1, 1920, Ginny was the daughter of the late Ernest and Agnes (Gallagher) Rossi. She lived in Amherst, NH, Yuma, AZ, Amherst, MA, and most recently at Orchard Hill in Sudbury, MA. Ginny earned her nursing degree from the Massachusetts General School of Nursing. She took great pride and satisfaction in her work. During her career, she served as Charge Nurse at McLean Hospital in Waverly, MA. She later worked as school nurse for Milford Public Schools, Head Start and for the Visiting Nurse Association, all in New Hampshire. In her leisure, she enjoyed traveling, reading, braiding rugs, and being with her family. Ginny was an avid knitter and loved making gifts for others.

Ginny was predeceased by her beloved husband, Thomas J. Gill; two sisters Claire Bellew and Agnes Conrad, her brother Ernest Rossi Jr. and her son, Peter J. Gill.

Ginny is survived by her sister, Rita Young, of Walpole, MA; two daughters, Sue Regnier and her husband, Roger, of Wellesley, MA, and Penny Gill and her partner, Carolyn Sailer, of Leeds, MA.
