Louise Helen McGinnis

Louise Helen McGin­nis, 78, passed away peace­fully Wednes­day (Sept. 26, 2012) with her lov­ing fam­ily by her side.

Mrs. McGin­nis was born Dec. 18, 1933, in Youngstown, a daugh­ter of Daniel and Agnes Vargo Nagy. She was a grad­u­ate of Chaney High School and served as an employee for Auto­matic Sprin­kler Com­pany, Hun­gar­ian Pres­by­ter­ian Church and the law offices of Cop­per­man and Zlot­nick. She mar­ried Tom McGin­nis on May 17, 1958. Upon retir­ing, Mrs. McGin­nis and her hus­band Tom moved from Board­man to New Port Richey, Fla., later relo­cat­ing to Delaware where they called home. Tom passed away Jan. 8, 2009.

Grandma Eez, as she was affec­tion­ately known, enjoyed spend­ing her time keep­ing up with the aca­d­e­mic and ath­letic accom­plish­ments of her five very active grand­chil­dren, all of whom she truly adored. Always quick with a story to tell or a pic­ture to share, she was as proud as any grand­par­ent could be.

Hav­ing bat­tled numer­ous ill­nesses over the year, her courage and ever-present opti­mism will con­tinue to serve as an inspi­ra­tion for those who knew and love her.

She is sur­vived by her two sons, Bob (Lorie) of Delaware and Jeff (Amy) of Pendle­ton, Ind. Mrs. McGin­nis had five beau­ti­ful grand­chil­dren, Hilary, Tay­lor, Tori, Beau and Mar­leau; two broth­ers, Daniel Nagy of Poland and Jim (Arlen) Nagy of Youngstown; and her spe­cial sister-in-law Donna Nagy of Girard. In addi­tion, she is sur­vived by many won­der­ful nieces and nephews.

Friends may call from noon to 2 p.m. Sat­ur­day at the funeral home. Ser­vices will be held at 2 p.m. Sat­ur­day, Oct. 8 a the Szabo and Sons Funeral Home in Youngstown.

Memo­r­ial con­tri­bu­tions to the Ste­fanie Spiel­man Fund for Breast Caner Research.
