Shirley Jean McGinnis Obituary
On Saturday, December 28, 2019, Heaven gained another angel in the form of Shirley Jean McGinnis. On her 90 years, Shirley touched so many hearts and lives with her caring, quick wit and beautiful smile and spirit. Shirley was born on February 9, 1929 in Longwood, Pennsylvania to Paul A. Parsons, Sr. and Mary Jane Parsons, nee Lansbury. She grew up during the golden years at Longwood when Mr. and Mrs. DuPont were active in the lives of the families that worked for Longwood Gardens. She told of the Christmas parties and how the DuPonts took care of the families that worked for them, in good times and bad. Shirley graduated from Kennett High School in 1947 and worked for the DuPont Company for 38 years. Her passions were her faith, music, knitting, her family and children. After her retirement, she worked for Chester County Hospital in admissions and took care of children.
Shirley is survived by her only child, Pamela Eppinger (John, Jr.), her sister-in-law, Mary Parsons {Russell), Deborah Reppert (David), Larry Paul Parsons (Michele), Dionne McNeel (Michael), Rusty Parsons and their children, and grandchildren. In addition, she is survived by family by heart, Deborah and Jim Metro and their children, Alyssa Kidd (Justin), Monica Metro, Stephen Metro and Jarek Metro, as well as James Coldiron. Special thanks to James Coldiron, Ivy Anderson and John Eppinger, Jr. for help with her care.
A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church in Kennett Square on Saturday, January 18th, 2020. Visitation will be at 2pm, with services following at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the music program at First Baptist Church.
