Virginia Marie “Ginny” Duvall, 87, of Elkhart, passed away peacefully Monday, March 28, at the Greenleaf Health Campus in Elkhart following an extended illness.
She was born in Dorchester, Mass., Feb. 16, 1929, to the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Bradley.
Surviving at home is her husband of 61 years, Ronald N. Duvall Sr., whom she married in West Newton, Mass., Aug. 29, 1954.
Also surviving are her son, Ronald N. (Karen) Duvall Jr. of Elkhart and daughter Linda (William) Thompson of Indianapolis; three sisters; one brother; and grandchildren Andrew, Matthew (Samantha), Abby, Christopher and Michael, all of whom she loved dearly and fondly remember her as “Nana.” She also has a great-grandson, Carter, who is due in late April.
Preceding Ginny in death was her beloved daughter, Debora Litzerman, and a sister, Joan Bradley.
Ginny moved to the Elkhart area in 1961 after her husband accepted a pharmaceutical research position at Miles Laboratories. She was a homemaker, but worked part time at Zeisel’s Department Store and Carson Pirie Scott once the children were grown. She enjoyed attending various national pharmaceutical conventions with her husband, playing bridge with her friends and going shopping in Chicago.
She was a member of St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic church, The Four Arts Club, and volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She was a dedicated, consummate housewife, mother and grandmother who will be dearly remembered for her family-oriented values and unconditional love.
