Virginia (Ginny) Marino, born February 16, 1928 in Brooklyn, NY, died August 1st, 2015 at home in Orford, NH, surrounded by her loving children Martin (Tad) Marino, of Elmhurst NY; Lynn Perry, of Woburn MA; and Jeffrey Marino, of Manhattan. She is also survived by her grandchildren Cameron Martin Perry, Alana Marin Perry, Rhiannon Delphine Marino and Finnavar Nuala Marino-Sweeney; and by her daughters-in-law Kathleen Sweeney and Lisanne Terranova, and son-in-law Daniel Perry. Ginny was the beloved daughter of Hon. Joseph and Harriet Glebocki, and loving and faithful wife of Dr. A.W. Martin Marino Jr., surviving him by three and a half years. She attended Brooklyn Friends School and rode horseback on the Staten Island shoreline. She enjoyed summers visiting the Glebocki Farm in Pine Island, near Goshen NY, as well as her father's fishing camp on Lake George. In her college years at Bennington and Barnard, she became engaged to Marty, and began a long life together filled with friends, food, entertainment and sports (tennis, swimming, sailing, water skiing, golf and snow skiing). She was a vibrant member of the New York Ski Club. Their three children were born in Park Slope, raised in Bay Ridge (both Brooklyn), and they kept a summer home in Candlewood Isle, Connecticut. Ginny supported Marty as he developed a successful medical career (including an exciting 2 years together in Taiwan during his military medical service), and raised the children in Brooklyn. Later on she got her real estate brokerage license and then established herself as the Director of Development of Poly Prep Country Day School. In 1989 Ginny and her husband relocated to the Upper Valley region, in Orford, NH. There they established a beautiful home on the Connecticut River and joined a wonderful community. Ginny was well known as an avid gardener. Her gorgeous flowers bloomed all through the growing season. She would dry her flowers and make arrangements in the winter. She often staged the flowers for local events hosted by The Rhondo and Lion's Clubs, and others. She loved the local Christmas Revels and Opera North and would regularly introduce folk to their performances. Ginny was generous in her support of numerous community organizations. She and Marty were dedicated members of St. Martin's Episcopal Church. Ginny was a magnet for the children of the parish and she was instrumental in providing the inspiration to have the children become more involved with the service. Ginny started inviting the children to walk to the altar in the presentation of the gifts. To this day, the children are an integral part of this practice. Ginny loved learning and was always ready for detailed discussions about science, technology, the arts, politics and religion (!). Fiercely independent, she lived free and loved the State of New Hampshire. In lieu of flowers, you may please make a donation in her name to the Upper Valley Land Trust or Opera North. Calling hours are Tuesday, August 4, from 4-7pm, at her home. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, August 5th, at 1pm at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Lake Morey Road (north of the Fairlee fire station), Fairlee, VT. Burial will take place on Friday August 7th at 2pm, at St. Stanislaus Cemetery, Pulaski Highway, Pine Island, NY (near Goshen).
