It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of lifelong Carmel Valley resident Ginnie Ann Bosso (nee Brown), who left us peacefully on June 20, 2024 at the age of 79 after a long illness.  Ginnie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend.  She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Ginnie was born on October 11, 1944 in Los Angeles to Edie Elizabeth Brown and Carlton Russell Brown.  She graduated from Monterey High School in 1962.  At her graduation party she was introduced to Chuck on a blind date.  They wed in 1964 and she received an AA at Monterey Peninsula College.  Then she and Chuck started Bosso Vending where she managed the finances for almost 40 years.  At home, while raising the kids, she went back to MPC to get her horticulture degree.  She put that to good use by beautifully landscaping their entire property.  She also co-founded 3-Star Provision Company, a catering service with partners and dear friends Joy Pritchard and Ann Dillon.  And she created Duskfire Farms, a pioneering local flower farm specializing in protea flowers.  Ginnie was a life-long Dodger fan much to the good-natured chagrin of her family.  

Ginnie is survived by Chuck, her husband of 60 years, sons, Chris (Nicole) and Chad (Aimee), and her third son Andy (Marcy) Richard, three grandchildren, Ryan and Carter Bosso, and Evie Richard, and countless friends and colleagues.  She was preceded in death by her brother, Roy Richard Brown (Kas).

She loved hosting parties and visiting Maui with family and friends.  She enjoyed going antiquing where she would collect cookbooks, old restaurant menus, and jadeite.  She had a love of gardening and crafts, horseback riding, her dogs, her blue and gold macaw, and the music of John Denver.  Ginnie will be fondly remembered for her warm welcomes, joyful laughs, sharp wit, and sorta obeying the speed limit in her Porsche.  

A celebration of life will be held the weekend of October 12, 2024 with details to be determined.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association or the charity of your choice.
