Virginia Knowles

February 6, 1933 — March 10, 2023

Penfield/Fairport

Gini died peacefully surrounded by family and a team of amazing caregivers at St. John's Penfield Greenhouses on Friday March 10th, 2023
at the age of 90.

She is predeceased by her husband of 56 years Theodore "Ted" Kenyon Knowles Jr,
her parents Madeline and Harold Williams, sisters Berda Hildreth and Sally Baumer.

Gini is survived by her children Karen (Jim) Keegan, Theodore "Ted" (Sue) Kenyon Knowles III,
Bruce (Liz) Knowles and Kevin (Sandy) Knowles,
her grandchildren Heather Knowles, Theodore "Ted" Kenyon Knowles IV , Ryan Knowles, Gregory Knowles,
Evan Keegan, Alexander Knowles and Thomas Knowles,
great grandchildren Ana, Clayton, Stella, Layla and Kyler, her sister-in-law Marcia Higgins and many nieces and nephews.

Gini was a wonderful friend, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
She was always on the move and never let any moss gather under her feet.
She and Ted enjoyed traveling, going out to lunch, antiquing, playing cards, and watching tennis.
They especially loved spending winters on Sanibel Island and summers with family at the lake house in Henderson that she and Ted built together.

We were blessed to have had her in our lives for so many marvelous years.

A private celebration of life at the family home in Henderson is planned for the Summer of 2023.

We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all the wonderful caregivers and staff at St. John's Penfield Greenhouses.

Although no formal service is planned, we do thank you for remembering Gini and holding her in your hearts.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to a charity of your choice.
