Ginny Lee was born on March 22, 1927 in Evansville, Indiana, daughter of the late George Thomas Owen and Inez Crawford Owen. She was a homemaker and loved to spend time with her family and friends. Ginny loved to read, play bridge, work in her garden and working on her arts and craft projects. She was a long time officer in the Hobcaw Garden Club, and Ginny and her late husband enjoyed many years of friendship with their Hobcaw Supper Club. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. During the last eight years of her life, her grandson, Perry, was her care giver which allowed her to remain at home. Her home was always open to all of her "adopted" family.
