“forever” friends do not happen every day. Precious Ginnny was a forever friend from the day we met. That was a story in itself. Through the years we had each other to laugh with or cry with. Have loads of fun with. When JJ was here at Easter, we visited Ginny. She was so happy to see us and she was one person he wanted to see before he went back to Spain. We made many visits to Billings to shop, celebrate birthdays there with lunch and bridge. Went to see Valieta Norris in S. Dak. etc. She was a huge part of my life. I am so thankful to have known her and enjoy her. She loved her family, God, and church. I will miss her forever. To her children, just know that I loved your mom very much!!
Kurtis West says
The West family is so sorry for the loss of Ginny and Merlin. They raised an incredible family that was instrumental in the lives of our family and vice versa. These two families (among other families of Forsyth), grew up together…from playing cards, to the kids’ sporting and school events. They were always so great to be around. Ginny was such a joy with her personality and her infectious smile. Merlin, such a pillar of strength, always set a great example and was so supportive. Ginny and Merlin will be greatly missed…We loved them dearly.
On behalf of the West family,
Richard, Myrna, Tim, Kurt, Mitch…to include all of the West’s extended family Love you guys! Prayers!

Dear Family, I am a distant cousin to Ginny. My sincere condolences. I tried to send her a photo of her Grandmother’s grave at the country church. God Speed. I will miss talking with her. She was always so kind to my Mother, Helen Werre Woodwick. Always stopped to see her or send cards in North Dakota. A very sweet lady. Peggy
