Virginia J Reece

Virginia (Ginny) Reece, 99, of Maumee Ohio passed away peacefully on Friday, October 16, 2020, at Elizabeth Scott Nursing Facility. She was born on March 25, 1921, to John & Cora Surowiec. She married Clayton Reece in 1941 and they had a wonderful life together celebrating 65 years of marriage when he passed in 2006. Ginny was an avid golfer and enjoyed memberships at both Brandywine CC and Heather Downs CC in Toledo and Innisbrook Resort in Tarpon Springs, FL. She was a 2-time Club Champion at Brandywine. She was also a very active member of the Toledo Women’s District Golf Association and was their President in 1978 and tournament chairwoman in other years. She and Clayton took several trips to Europe but their favorites were the golfing trips to Scotland. Although Ginny had a few part-time jobs, her main love was being a “home-maker” and her life centered around Clayton and her 2 sons. Her Polish heritage meant a lot to her and her polish meals were the envy of her daughter-in-laws and grandchildren. She also loved to polka and any person that could share that dance well was a welcomed partner. Ginny was preceded in death by her parents and siblings and her husband Clayton. She is survived by her 2 sons – Jim (Marianne) and Bob (Tammy); her 6 grandchildren Ken (Tracey), Matt, Greg (Nicole), Emily (Pat) Essig, Brady (Stephanie), and Colby; and 11 great-grandchildren Kelsey, Jonell, Paige, Clay, Joey, Lanie, Kate, Olivia, Knox, Axel, and Huxen. Funeral arrangements have been handled by Maison-Dardenne Walker Funeral Home but due to the present COVID environment there will be no visitation or services. The family will celebrate her life privately. May everyone who knew Ginny help us celebrate her life by dancing often (and may it be a polka!)
