Virginia M Kelvey Nyhart, June 07, 1947 — June 07, 1947

Virginia M. Nyhart (McKelvey), 92, formerly of Killbuck, was peacefully called home to be with her Lord and Savior after a recent decline in health. She was born on her family farm in Holmes County in 1925 to Earl H. and Elizabeth (Markley) McKelvey. She married Bernard W. Nyhart on June 7, 1947, and was blessed with an only child, Martin Nyhart, in 1960.

She enjoyed the simple things in life with her family such as gardening, photography, mushroom and arrowhead hunting, traveling, bonfires, holidays, puzzles, crafting, baking, swimming, ice skating and passion for nature, animals and reading. Ginny was a tremendous artist. She created and shared her unique fungus wood-burned etchings all around the world, for over 20 years.

She was an avid pen pal to many close friends and family her entire life. Ginny enjoyed life and spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandkids, Dejah and Morgan, and great-grandkids, Nina and Orin. She was like a second mom to her nieces, Linda and Kay, and also to her daughter-in-law, Earlene.

Her outgoing personality and love for people is reflected in some of her favorite Bible quotes, as follows: Psalm 71:1, Psalm 25: 1-7, Psalm 15:1-5 and Matthew 7:1 and 3. Ginny was a longtime member of Killbuck First Church of Christ, member of XYZ Group and Choir. She was a volunteer at Round Lake Christian Camp.
