Virginia "Ginny" Vestal left us to join Heavens Choir on Ash Wednesday, 
February 22, 2012.

Born Virginia Lorraine Whitelock on March 25, 1927, in Portland, Ginny lived 
with her son Michael Ameel at Long Lake during the early 1960's. Beloved 
Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and friend. Ginny spent her final day 
surrounded by family, friends, love and prayer.

She was preceded in death by her Dear Mother Mathilda, Father John, and her 
brothers Bobby, George and Richard.

She is survived by her Son, Michael Ameel, of Coto de Caza, Calif.; Grand-
daughters, Cathy Marusich and Melissa Said; Great-grandchildren, RoseLynn, 
Keira, AnaLeigh and Jameson. Her surviving brother Fred Whitelock lives in 
Omaha, Nev. All, including her many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends will 
miss her deeply.

Ginny was a Realtor for over 35 years. Her integrity and friendliness was 
widely known among her peers. Everyone knew "Ginny" in San Dimas and LaVerne 
where she was active in her church, Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church in San 
Dimas, Calif. as a Lector and Choir Member. She was known far and wide for her 
beautiful voice and smile. She had spent her early years as a professional 
singer in Detroit and Lansing. She also sang with a Big Band, "Chuck Foster and 
his Orchestra". In her later years she devoted her many gifts, to serving God. 
She was a unique and wonderful woman who leaves us all richer for having had 
her in our lives.
