Ryan Eldridge, who co-stars on “Maine Cabin Masters” and who has also been a lifelong friend of Matt and Ginna, also shared a tribute to Ginna on Instagram. He posted a recent photo of himself with Ginna as well as a throwback photo from their childhood.
In the caption of the post, he wrote, “We were born on the same day two years apart, our parents were best friends, you married my best friend.” He described her as “tough and strong willed” as well as a “no nonsense woman.”
After sharing several memories from their childhood, he wrote, “You have been a big part of my life since day one and left this world way to soon, but you sure did make a mark in your short time. I love you Gin!”
According to her obituary, Ginna played field hockey and basketball during her high school years. Then she studied nursing at St Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire. In 2000, she earned her nursing degree and met the love of her life. Ginna and Matt got married one year later in 2001.
Ginna began her nursing career by taking a job at Pine Tree Camp in Rome, Maine. Then she worked at Waldo County Hospital in Belfast before changing her career to work in oncology at Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care.
She eventually went back to school and earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Purdue University in January of 2018. She went on to work as a Nurse Practitioner at the Harold Alfond Center and MaineHealth Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington.
When she wasn’t working, she loved spending time with her dogs, going to the beach, snowmobiling and spending time with family and friends. She loved music and Prosecco as much as coffee and a good book.
Her family is requesting privacy, and if anyone wants to donate something in her honor, they ask for donations to be sent to Kennebec Valley Animal Shelter.
