SMITH Virginia M. "Grandma Ginny" Virginia M. Smith (Grandma Ginny) of Grand 
Rapids, Ohio, passed peacefully early Tuesday morning, September 5, 2006, at St. 
Vincent's Mercy Medical Center. She was 84 years old. She was born the second child 
of Henry and Mabel Marguerite (Scott) Zeck on October 30, 1921, in Toledo, who 
both preceded her in death. Her brother, Walter Zeck (Ellen) and first husband, 
William (Bill) Adams, also preceded her in death. She married Oval C. Smith on 
September 13, 1975. She is survived by her husband, Oval Smith; brother, Richard 
Zeck (Barbara); daughters, Linda L. Ramm (Larry) and Cathie (Shepler) Adams; six 
granddaughters, Tracy (Ramm) Kennedy, Brandy (Butler) Rogers, Nicole (Butler) 
Zaborowski, Monica (Ramm) Anderson, Rickelle (Butler) Litten and Roxanne (Butler) 
Smith and 12 1/2 great-grandchildren, Tessa, Georgia, Ezekiel, Kyleigh, Becca, 
Amelia, Emma, Olivia, Zane, Leland, Clay, Kaysey, and one on the way. She is also 
survived by step-daughter, Melody Smith (and husband, Tony George); step-
granddaughter, Amber Mori (Bruce) and step-great-grand children, Nicholas, Allison 
and Andrew. She and her husband, Bill Adams, owned Dutch Village carryout on 
Airport Highway in Holland from 1963 to 1974 (she was very proud of this 
accomplishment) and worked in The Andersons Ford Street warehouse for fifteen 
years before she retired (she loved working for Jim Anderson). She was affiliated with 
Grace Lutheran Church in Weston, Ohio and also attended services at St. Paul's 
Lutheran in Maumee and Calvary Assembly of God on Glendale in Toledo. She lived 
her life for her children and grandchildren and was a "constant" in all of our lives. She 
made us very proud of her as a woman, wife, mother and grandmother and will be 
missed immensely. We love her "way high up to the sky" and look forward to seeing 
her again someday. Friends will be received in the Neville Funeral Home Southwest 
Chapel, 7438 Airport Highway, Holland (419-865-8879) from 2-9 p.m. Thursday where 
funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, September 8, 2006, with Pastor Roger 
Miller officiating. Burial will follow at Springfield Township Cemetery. Those planning 
an expression of sympathy are asked to consider a charity of the donor's choice.
