Ginny West

Post by braud357 »

I am deeply saddened to report the passing of long-time IHMSA shooter and former Louisiana State Director Ginny West. Ginny was killed in an automobile accident Tuesday evening on I-75 in Kentucky. You can find the news story at www.thenewsjournal.net
Ginny was a dear friend and an enthusiastic supporter of IHMSA. I really am at a loss for words !!! -------- Philip Braud :(

I was so sad to hear this. Jenny had such a bubbly personality, and had a smile for everyone.
Prayers for Richard and family

I still can't believe this has happened. Ginny was a close personal friend, and will be deeply missed. Truly sad. Our monthy matches just won't be the same without her.

RIP Ginny...........

Very sad to hear about Ginny. Our IHMSA family has sure suffered some losses this past year or so.

I met Jinny back a few years ago at a match. She was very formative and full of information. I had spoken to her at several match's since then and was sorry to hear of her moving and was hoping she would not quit shooting IHMSA. Now I hear of her passing and she will truly be missed. RIP my friend.
