Virginia E. Wolcott of Smithville, died October 23, 2019. She was the daughter of Ralph R. and Hermena E. (Brangenberg) VanSant of Absecon, NJ. The love of her life was husband Roger, who predeceased her after 65 years of marriage. They are reunited and dancing together in heaven.

Jinny is survived by son Robert (Terri), daughter Lee Ellen Wolcott Sheahan (Kevin); grandchildren Robert Jr (Alissa), Ryan (Amanda), Richard (Chelsea), and Riley Wolcott, Rebecca, Colleen, and Kevin Patrick Wolcott Sheahan; six great-grandchildren; siblings Kathryn Irelan (Bill), Fred Dunlevy, and Donna (Harry) Baszner; in-laws Frank (Sandy) and Thomas Wolcott. Predeceased by sister Valerie and husband John Civera, Paul and Alice-Jean Wolcott.

Jinny was a 3-year student government officer, co-chair of the yearbook, and graduate of Pleasantville High School, Atlantic Community College, and Stockton State College. She retired from her teaching career at The Hebrew Academy in Margate after many years teaching in area public elementary schools. She was also employed by Atlantic City Electric Company and Atlantic Medical Imaging.

Jinny had been an active member of the Absecon Jaycee Auxiliary, the Absecon Jr Womens Club, and later the Womens Club of Absecon. She was a Girl Scout Troop Leader, a Cub Scout Den Mother, and a Charter Member and Sunday School Secretary of Absecon Baptist Church.

An accomplished seamstress with needle and thread, Jinny was also a talented hand-crafter, cook and baker. She enjoyed playing her piano and organ, and she experienced the joys of a lifetime of camping with her family, RV camping, crabbing, and her favorite- dancing with her beloved Roger. She was an active Red-Hatter, cards player, and was a conqueror of daily crossword puzzles.

Jinny served her Lord in many capacities at the Absecon Presbyterian Church including volunteer and committee work, and she was an ordained Deacon.
