Antonia Louise Starcevich was born July 20, 1925 in Hibbing, Minnesota. She grew up in the immigrant community of Leetonia, Minnesota with her parents, John and Louise (Milosevic) Starcevich and her three sisters, Mary, Josie and Annie. In their early twenties, she and her sister Mary moved to Denver, Colorado. She worked at Lowry Air Force base where she met Clif Ginn; they were married three months later. The couple raised five children on five Air Force bases before retiring and moving to Wayne with their children in 1968. Toni is remembered by her grandchildren as loving, active, content, joyful, quiet, kind and always smiling. She impressed them all with her highly competitive spirit.
Her children include: the late Richard Ginn, grandson, Patrick and great-grandchildren Aubree and Riley of Omaha; Michael and Laura Ginn of San Clemente, California, grandson, John Ginn, and granddaughter, Gail (Michael) Gensel and great-grandchildren, Millie and Ellie; MaryAnn and Randy Lutt of Wayne, grandson, Joe (Karen) Lutt and great-grandchildren Miles, Owen, Will and Edie and granddaughter, Katie (Dave) Brown and great-grandchildren, Noah and Josie; Tom and Lori Ginn of Greeley, Colorado, grandson, James (Elliott) Ginn Encarnacion and granddaughter, Michelle Ginn (Jordan Casias), great-grandchildren, Olivia and Alayah; Teresa and Kevin Kay of Wayne, granddaughter, Amy (Levi) Schmidt and great-grandchildren, Kayden and Cammie and grandson, Mikey Kay (Bryn Schutte); five nieces and five nephews in Minnesota and numerous others in Maryland.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Clif in 2012; son, Rick in 2018; sisters and brothers-in law, Mary, Josie and Paul McHale, Annie and Bill Sandor, and numerous East coast in-laws.
Toni’s faith and family were her foundation. Her gentle and humble spirit taught us how to persevere through hardships, treat others with kindness and respect, value hard work, live with gratitude and love unconditionally.
