Gina did data entry for many years and worked for IBM for a few of those years. After Gina retired she and Arnette moved to Florida. They lived there for 25 years. Gina loved the beach and they took many walks along the shore. They made lots of friends in their neighborhood at Jamar. Arnette played in a band and Gina would dance the night away. Gina was a soft spoken, kind and gentle soul. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with all her heart. She would say to her stepdaughters, "step is just a word, you are my daughters" and she meant it. Gina had a love for all animals. She rescued many cats that found their way to her yard and she spoiled them rotten.
