Ginny was born February 4, 1935 to Andrew Jackson and Eleaner Lee Russell who her blessed with a loving christian home to grow in. Ginny was preceded in death by two husbands, Allen Hodges and John S. Stamps, One daughter, Ann Stamps and four of her six siblings.
Ginny loved people. She also loved animals of all kinds, but especially dogs and horses. Ginny would try anything.
If someone else could do it, she could surely try. Her mother would say she wasn’t afraid of the devil himself, to which she would reply, “Why be afraid with God on my side? ” After Ginny graduated nursing school in 1945, she worked as a registered nurse for 47 years and said she enjoyed helping God’s people when they needed it.
Many stories can be told of Ginny, some happy and some sad. She tried to smile in times that she could have done otherwise. She believed it was God’s plan for all to be happy and at peace with one another.
Ginny was a lifetime member of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association, she was a master gardener and was a former member of Alpha Beta Iota. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir for over 20 years. She truly enjoyed her time in the choir and the fellowship that came with it.
Ginny worked several odd jobs throughout her life in addition to nursing. This surely stemmed from her love of people. She was a school nurse, a realtor, a teacher who led anti-smoking seminars, and even did insurance physicals for several companies.
Outside of work, she enjoyed gardening, volunteering with the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks, farming and oil painting with some very special ladies every Friday. Most of all Ginny loved her family and soaked up every minute of her time with them. Ginny leaves two sons, Russell Dale Hodges and wife Belinda, Robert Allen Hodges and wife Kari, all of Springdale.
She leaves eight grandchildren Josh Hodges and wife Pamela, Sarah Stevens and husband Chad, Travis Hodges and wife April, Shawna Todd and husband Keith, Corbin Morris, Ryan Morris and wife Maribel, Quinton Hodges and Jackson Hodges. She leaves nine great-grandchildren, Phillip Todd, Saylor and Case Stevens, Ian and Eliana Perez, Ariana Morris, Caleb and David Hodges, Gracie Mae Hodges.
