Ginny's parents and respective families, Sticka and Voise, homesteaded and farmed the land in Hill County, nearby Havre MT. After High School (class of 1942), Ginny moved to Fresno CA where she worked in business administration. After some time, she then moved to Pasco WA to secure a job in the secretarial division at the nearby Hanford Site. Since the Hanford Site was, at the time, a top-secret nuclear production complex, very few people knew the exact nature of the facility. In fact, Ginny said her supervisor stated that the facility was a "brassiere" manufacturing plant. In 1949, when her job ended at Hanford, she moved to Spokane where over time she raised three sons and resided there for the next 70 years. She found work as a typist and most notably, worked at the WA State Department of Adult Probation and Parole for many years, and, where her co-workers gave her the honorary title of Officer Haase.

Ginny was an enthusiastic gardner and champion "ten-pin" bowler. She was also passionate about cooking and dreamed of having her own bakery one day. Also, a family history buff, she would spend endless hours in the kitchen, baking and reminiscing about the family with her best friend, her mother, Irene. Both mother and daughter were also united spiritually in their Catholic faith. Ginny was also a regular patron of her Havre High School "The Blue Ponies" alumni reunions. Family was the most important aspect of Ginny's life. She particularly enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and shared her love of chocolate and ice cream with them.

Grandma Ginny, as she became known, would always be there to lend a helping hand to her cherished family and friends. She loved life to the fullest, was loved in return by all who knew her, loved feeding her birds and could always see the bright side of any situation. She will be deeply missed. Ginny will be laid to rest next to her son, Steve Dunsmoor, at Holy Cross Cemetery in Spokane WA.
