Obituary
ELKHART — Virginia Marie "Ginny" Duvall, 87, of Elkhart, passed away peacefully Monday, March 28, at the Greenleaf Health Campus in Elkhart following an extended illness.
She was born in Dorchester, Mass., Feb. 16, 1929, to the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Bradley.
Surviving at home is her husband of 61 years, Ronald N. Duvall Sr., whom she married in West Newton, Mass., Aug. 29, 1954.
Also surviving are her son, Ronald N. (Karen) Duvall Jr. of Elkhart and daughter Linda (William) Thompson of Indianapolis; three sisters; one brother; and grandchildren Andrew, Matthew (Samantha), Abby, Christopher and Michael, all of whom she loved dearly and fondly remember her as "Nana." She also has a great-grandson, Carter, who is due in late April.
Preceding Ginny in death was her beloved daughter, Debora Litzerman, and a sister, Joan Bradley.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Ginny's life at Billings Funeral Home of Elkhart, beginning with a viewing there from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 30, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday, Mar. 31, at St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church in Bristol, with visitation beginning at 10 a.m. The Rev. Robert Van Kempen will officiate and Ginny is to be entombed at the Chapel of Memories Mausoleum in Rice Cemetery in Elkhart following the services.
Ginny moved to the Elkhart area in 1961 after her husband accepted a pharmaceutical research position at Miles Laboratories. She was a homemaker, but worked part time at Zeisel's Department Store and Carson Pirie Scott once the children were grown. She enjoyed attending various national pharmaceutical conventions with her husband, playing bridge with her friends and going shopping in Chicago.
She was a member of St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic church, The Four Arts Club, and volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She was a dedicated, consummate housewife, mother and grandmother who will be dearly remembered for her family-oriented values and unconditional love.
Memorial donations may be given to the church or the American Cancer Society.
