Williams mourns the death of retiree Virginia (Ginny) Gaskill, who passed away at home on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at the age of 84.
Ginny joined Williams in the fall of 1978, working in the campus mailroom, and retired in July 2010, as executive assistant in what was then the Alumni Relations and Development Office, now the Office of College Relations. Over the course of three decades she also hosted many international students from the Center for Development Economics, especially students from Southeast Asian countries.
Please see the family’s obituary to read about Ginny’s rich life outside of Williams.
A memorial service will be held this Friday, May 30, at 10:00 AM at the Second Congregational Church in Williamstown. A link for live streaming of the service will be available on the website of the Flynn & Dagnoli-Montagna Home for Funerals.
The family welcomes gifts in Ginny’s memory to the Shriners Children’s Hospital or the Alzheimer’s Association, care of the Flynn & Dagnoli-Montagna Home for Funerals, 521 West Main St., North Adams, MA 01247.
Our thoughts are with Ginny’s family, friends and former colleagues at this time of loss.
