She married Douglas E Woodside on December 4, 1950. He predeceased her on October 27, 2000.

She is also survived by three grandchildren, Katie Woodside, Korrie Waters and Richard Waters. Ginny is also survived by her dear friends, Lorraine and Jim Gizzarelli of Gasport, and Lorraine Shelton of Newfane. Her grandson Bradley Waters, passed away on August 27, 1996. Her siblings, Nan Updegrove, John "Ed" Delahunt, Doris Sawyer, Francis "Hank" Delahunt, Mary Ruth Delahunt and James Delahunt also predeceased her.
Ginny lived in the Lockport area her entire life. She attended Lockport schools and dropped out of the 10th grade so she could work to help support her family. She was affectionately known as "Red" to many of her co-workers at Harrison Radiator. She retired from there in 1988 after 25 years of service.
Ginny was described by those who knew her as a "fun and upbeat person" who enjoyed traveling and helping others. She enjoyed telling stories of her life to her family and friends. Ginny loved being outdoors and for many years, played golf on a league and went boating in Wilson with her family. Up until her recent illness, Ginny was an avid bowler who bowled on the senior leagues at both Allie Brandt's and South Transit Lanes. She was always striving to improve her technique and was proud that she had bowled over 600 on more than one occasion.
Ginny loved animals and had a great love for her dog, Molly and her three cats, Max, Toby and Mickey. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and expressed her love for them with her generous and kind actions.
