Virginia Lea Ruck passed away peacefully in her sleep Wednesday, September 29, 2010, in Bend, at the age of 72.

Virginia Lea Ruck was born April 6, 1938, in Evanston, Illinois, to Robert and Dorothy (Wilson) Cazel. Ginny was raised in Gaylord, Michigan, and graduated from Gaylord High School. Ginny worked in the banking industry for most of her working career. Her last job was with US Bank in Bend, first in the Main branch then retiring from the Northgate branch. Ginny loved gardening, especially her flowers, arts and crafts, waterskiing, camping, but the most important thing in her life, was her family. She loved family gatherings and cooking for everyone. She loved her grandchildren very much – they meant the world to her.
