Today, May 12, is Mother's Day. By coincidence, May 12 was also my stepmother's birthday, so I decided to write about her this year for Mother's Day.
Virginia Ann "Ginny" Daugherty (if I remember correctly, she pronounced it "dockerty") was born May 12, 1932 in Cuyahoga Falls, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Her parents were Clarence Elmer Daugherty and Clara Margaret Petro.
My father was her second husband; she was my father's third wife. They were married December 4 (my father's birthday), 1980 in Niceville, Okaloosa County, Florida. Their marriage lasted longer than my father's first two marriages combined.
She and my father lived in several different places — many cities in the Florida panhandle, Ohio, Texas — but their last residence was Mary Esther, Florida. That's where they were living when my father passed away in 2019.
Ginny could not live by herself at that point, so after he died, my stepbrother Don took her to Texas to live with him and his wife. She died a year and a half later, on December 18, 2020.
Ginny was a sweet, caring person who was a joy to be around. We all miss her very much.
