Virginia (Ginny) Tipton, age 68, of Liberty, passed away on Thursday, November 3, 2022, surrounded by her family.   Virginia was born in Connersville on June 23, 1954, the daughter of Mary Edith Hensley Grant and the late Neal T. Grant.  

She was united in marriage to Fielding Tipton on October 7, 1977 at the Mt. Pleasant Church in rural Union County.  They enjoyed 45 years together prior to her death. 

Virginia was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother whom you could often find relaxing while fishing.  She enjoyed feeding and watching humming birds, gardening and loved to cook and bake for her family.  Above all she loved spending time with her family. 

Memories of Ginny will be forever cherished by her mother, Mary Edith Grant; the love of her life, Fielding Tipton, Sr.; son Fielding (Sarah Reese) Tipton, Jr.; daughters, Christine (Ray) Glisson and Rhoda Lorene (Jason) Crutcher; grandchildren; Andrea (Jerry) Luce, Chelsie (Shawn) Ervine, Tyler Glisson, Amanda (Kyle) Bouchard, Clarissa (Shawn) Greene, Justin (Brittany) Crutcher, Hannah DeLucio, Coby DeLucio; and 14 great grandchildren.  She will be thought of often by her brothers, Charles Grant, Gary Grant, and Lloyd (Tammy) Grant, as well as several nieces and nephews. 
Other than her father, she is preceded in death by a sister-in-law, Beverly Grant. 

Respecting and honoring Virginia's wishes, cremation was chosen.  Friends visited with the family at a Celebration of Virginia's life on Wednesday November 9, 2022 at Urban Winkler Liberty Funeral Home, 310 N Main Street, Liberty.  Following the celebration of life, interment was at College Corner Cemetery with Pastor Shawn Tipton conducting graveside services.  

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family would like all Memorial contributions be made to the CJD Foundation at cjdfoundation.org, or mailed to the CJD Foundation 3634 West Market Street Suite 110 Akron, Ohio 44333
