Virginia Louise “Ginny” Brogan, 66, of Charleston, passed away unexpectedly, Friday, April 28, 2023, at CAMC General.
She recently retired from Kroger after 35 years of service. She was an avid reader and collector of books. Her artistic abilities ranged from sketches on paper to her meals that appeared to be works of art and tasted just as delicious. She also loved to dance. She so loved being a mom and grandma.
Ginny was preceded in death by her father, Gerald Moore; son, Kevin Brogan; stepson, Paul Shanklin, Jr.; and sister, Vickie McCoy.
She is survived by her fiancé and partner of 22 years, Paul Shanklin, who swept her off of her feet. Also, her mother, Janis Moore; brother, Virgil Lee (Meredith) Moore; stepdaughter, Danielle Shanklin; Paul’s siblings; grandchildren, Nikki (Justin) Dunlap, Logan (Brittany) Cantley, Devin (Merri) Brogan, Griffin (Maitlyn) Taylor, and Hailie Brogan; great grandchildren, Hudson Taylor; loving nieces & nephews; great nieces & nephews; and Destiny Taylor, whom she loved like a daughter.
Service will be 2:00 p.m., Thursday, May 4, 2023, at Curry Funeral Home, Alum Creek with Pastor Richard Ruby officiating. Burial will be at Moore Cemetery, Sumerco. Friends and family will gather one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
I was always glad to see Ginny when I went to the Riverwalk Kroger store. She was so friendly and she liked when I shared a joke with her in the checkout line. She was a very special friend and I will surely miss her.
