Obituary for Virginia "Ginny" Simmons Trinkle
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/dailypress/name/virginia-trinkle-obituary?id=17314188
Accessed June 29, 2023

Ginny Trinkle died in her home during Home Hospice care on Friday, 19 June 2009, after a long battle with bone cancer. Her family and best friends were at hand. She was the widow of Major (Retired) Edwin Trinkle, USAF.

Ginny was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, aunt, sister-in law, grandmother, and friend. She was born on Dec. 27, 1927, in Huttonsville, W.Va., and was raised lovingly by her mother, Eula M. Simmons. She graduated from Tygart Valley High School and began work with the U.S. Civil Service at Langley AFB in Hampton Va., in 1945.

She married Air Force Tech Sergeant Edwin Trinkle of Allentown, Pa., on July 25, 1947, at the historic Fort Myer Chapel in Arlington, Va. Shortly after her marriage, Ginny joined Ed, who was stationed at Bolling AFB in Washington, D.C. They were transferred overseas to Rio de Janerio, Brazil, in 1949. Since 1952, Ginny and her two sons lived with her husband in Maryland, Paris (France), Illinois, and Delaware.

After Major Trinkle retired from the Air Force in 1964, the family moved from Dover AFB, Delaware to Vienna, Va. Thereafter they joined the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Vienna. Ginny was an active member of the church hospitality staff and taught Sunday school for several years. Upon the death of her husband in 1973, Ginny began work at the central Postal Facility in Merrifield, Va., until 1999.

Several years after her retirement, she moved from Northern Virginia to the Rainbrook Villas in Yorktown in 2002.

Ginny was an active member of the neighborhood coffees, celebrations, volunteer at the York County Bargain Box, and the Red Hat Society.

She was known to all as a gentle, loving, and caring neighbor and friend.

Ginny is survived by her two sons and their wives, Edwin R. and Marky Trinkle of Marietta, Ga., Gary L. and Alison Mascalo-Trinkle of Yorktown; one grandson, Peter Alois Trinkle of Atlanta, Ga.; her sister-in-law, Ruth Simmons of Haughton, La.; four nieces, Louella Smith of Fairfax, Va., Barbara Simmons of Santa Barbara, Calif., Barbara Lennon and Patty Hanley of Norfolk, Va.; and five nephews, Ron Simmons of Tacoma, Wash., Louis F., and Bobby Trinkle, both of Allentown, Pa., David and Michael Carr, both of St.Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, 23 June 2009, at Saint Mark's Lutheran Church, 118 Old York Hampton Hwy., Yorktown, VA. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Friends and Family are invited to a reception following the service at Saint Mark's. The second service at the Fort Myer Chapel and graveside funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., will be conducted at a date to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites your donation to the Peninsula Hospital Hospice Center, 12420 Warwick Blvd., Suite 6E, Newport News, VA 23606. These people are truly�angels.
