Ginny, wife of Jim Kyser passes
Virginia “Ginny” Kyser of Springfield, VA, passed away gently on January 30, 2017 at INOVA Fairfax Hospital after a short but courageous battle with cancer.
She was born Virginia Lee Detweiler in 1936 in Reading and spent her formative years in Easton. A devoted “Red Rover” and member of the Eastern Star, she graduated from Easton High School in 1954 and worked at the very first Crayola factory.She met the love of her life on a blind date in 1955 and shortly found herself engaged to that Marine Sergeant; Jim Kyser, marrying him in 1957.
She traveled the world with him, raised two children and later the family settled in Virginia. She and her love Jim traveled the world together on many adventures, but always followed their feet “home” where, to her final days, she was surrounded by her loving family and a vast network of amazing friends.
She left a smile on every person she ever met and was the personification of “an angel on earth.” She was preceded in death by her husband MGySgt Jim Kyser, USMC (Ret.) and is survived by her daughter, her son, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Funeral Services will be held at 0930, Friday February 3rd at the Quantico Marine Chapel, in Virginia followed by internment at the Quantico National Cemetery.
