Virginia Mary “Giny” DeTrolio Miller(McMahon) age 87 of Wayne on Monday, September 28, 2009 at the Compassionate Care Hospice, Dover. Her passing was peaceful and made more comfortable by: the loving care of her granddaughter Michele Anderson, the bedside love of her daughter Marie Fein and her husband Alvin, the dedicated care of the Compassionate Care Hospice nurses and the warm and loving care of Dr. Robert Bock.
Giny was born in Croton on the Hudson, NY and also lived in upstate New York having spent her formative years in Morristown, NJ. She married Ralph DeTrolio on January 7, 1940 in the non-traditional and frowned upon union of an Irish girl to an Italian man. They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, NY and enjoyed a loving and caring seventeen year marriage until Ralph’s sudden passing in 1957. During their marriage and until his passing in 1958 Giny took care of Ralph’s brother Gene who was physically handicapped. She later married Robert Miller who owned the Village Inn in Hawley, PA. She helped him manage the restaurant until he passed away in 1974.
Her first job was at the Greystone State Hospital, Morris Plains as a patient aide. After raising her children she reentered the workforce as an answering service telephone operator, and later as a manager, for companies in Rutherford and Summit that specialized in answering for physicians.
Ginny is best described as a loving and caring person who loved knitting, especially afghans, enjoyed singing and dancing, cooking, bingo and was a social butterfly.
She was the loving wife of the late Ralph DeTrolio(1957) and the late Robert Miller(1974); loving mother of Marie Fein and her husband Alvin of Wayne and Anne DeTrolio of Totowa; cherished grandmother of Michele Anderson, Michael Fein, Thomas Fein, Philip Reed, James Robinson and Brianna Robinson all of Wayne.
