Ginna Moore died last night. The following is quoted from the obituary written by her husband, Don Moore.
After a grace filled and courageous confrontation with brain cancer, Ginna Holmes Moore of Hudson, New York, succumbed on June 29, 2021, at her home on a hill overlooking the city. As damnable as was the shadow of the COVID pandemic pervading most of her last months, she found a measure of comfort and peace looking out over the city, the Hudson River, and the Catskill Mountains. . . .
If it is possible, and it is, to be selfless and bristling with opinions, with a smile that lit up many, many lives, that was Ginna. She honed a sense of social justice on issues of women’s rights and racial equity. Both came naturally to her. In her quarter century in the Hudson Valley, Rhinebeck and Hudson, she threw her energies into work with Columbia County Habitat for Humanity, and as an ardent congregant and active volunteer at St. John the Evangelist in Barrytown and Christ Church Episcopal in Hudson.

A sweet, wickedly funny and bright woman with a high-wattage smile. She is missed very much, and our community lost one of its brightest lights. Condolences to Don, Peter, Katherine and the entire family.
ReplyDeleteGinna was a lively, witty and smart woman who was also very interested in other people. Hudson is a diminished place with her passing.
ReplyDeleteGinna lit up every room she graced her presence with. Our community is a bit more dim today with the loss of such a bright and warm light. She never hesitated to take the time to recognize hard work, to thank people, and to interject direct and often hilarious commentary. She will be very missed, and my heart goes out to Don and all of Ginna's family and friends.
