Ginny and her husband, Charles A. ""Alton"" Lutz, moved from the Baltimore area to Merritt Island in 1956 when Alton relocated to PAFB. Ginny adored Alton and he adored her. He wrote hundreds of poems, declaring his undying love for her. Sadly, Ginny has been a widow for 48 years. Ginny loved her home, and gardening was her passion. Her plants and shrubs were spectacular. She was also very proud that her father's pet name for her was ""Mike."" As a little girl she helped him repair his truck, deliver ice, and other son type things. For a number of years Ginny worked as a sales lady in various shops in Cocoa and Cocoa Beach. Prior to retiring she worked at Montgomery Ward in Cocoa and consistently won top sales awards. She will be sorely missed by many friends and family.
