Virginia Winnett, 61

Virginia “Ginny” Means Winnett passed suddenly on Saturday, April 30, at the age of 61.

Mrs. Winnett was the daughter of the late Hull Fire Chief Kervyn E. Means and Mary W. Means, and shared a special bond with her father. She was very proud of her long history of Means firemen. If there is any peace in this chaos, it’s knowing how happy she is getting to hear her Dad say “My Yinnie” again.

Mrs. Winnett was an irreplaceable mother, wife, sister, aunt, friend, and second Mom to everyone. She was one of seven children, and nothing made her happier than when the family came together and reminisced. She was the life of the party anywhere she went. She enjoyed doing projects around the house, being outside, and going to the beach all summer long.

She is survived by daughters Carolyn, Emily, Abby, and husband Jimmy, and her Golden Bob (named after her late brother Bobby). Also survived by sisters Carol Means Morris and Mary K. Means of Hull and brothers William Means and Christopher Means of Hull and Richard Means of Texas. Mrs. Winnett is survived by nieces Catherine Morris, Lauren Means, and Haley Donnell and nephews Derek Means and Mason Means. She was the sister of the late Robert Means and aunt of the late Ryan Means.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend visiting hours at the Downing Cottage Funeral Chapel, 21 Pond St., Hingham, on Saturday, May 7 from 3-6 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Asher House, which was a charity she held near and dear to her heart, at www.theasherhouse.com.
