When Ginny was five years old, her mom passed away and her dad married Thelma Strand, who raised Ginny at their home in Moorehead, MN, where she graduated from Moorhead High School. She attended University of Minnesota where she studied nursing. While living in Rochester, she met LDS missionaries and joined the Church. She then transferred to Brigham Young University, where she met Michael Dee Armstrong. They were married January 3, 1974, in Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They had five children and were divorced in 2014.
Ginny made her home in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved the Gospel. She enjoyed home making, quilting, crafting, and home decorating. She owned and operated a local craft, gift, and home decor store, The Mansion House. She loved children, and especially being a mom to her own. She was so much fun and had a great sense of humor. She maintained a positive attitude throughout her life, despite the pains and setbacks that came along the way. She was a voracious reader who loved to learn, and encouraged all to continue their own lifelong learning. Ginny continued her education, while still raising kids, at Idaho State University, and Walla Walla University where she received her Master’s Degree in Social Work and an Educational Specialist Degree. She worked as a social worker and a School Counselor, at elementary and high school levels, for Idaho Falls School District 91, Bonneville School District 93, and Jefferson School District 251. She loved her career, her many colleagues, and all the children she worked with. She retired from Bonneville High School in 2016. She truly exemplified generosity, tenacity, compassion, and empathy. She was a true advocate, protector, and nurturer of women, children, and families.
