Virginia "Ginny" Harrington Kooker passed away on April 20, 2020 in Dover, Del.
Virginia was born on April 1, 1932 in Houston, Del. to William and Myrtle Harrington. She grew up on a farm in Kitts Hummock and graduated from Dover High School. After traveling to Pittsburgh, Washington D.C. and North Carolina with her husband Bob, she moved back to Dover permanently in 1970. Throughout her life she worked numerous secretarial jobs and was a pre-school teacher at Wesley United Methodist Church before spending the last 15 years of her career as an administrative assistant with Kent County. In her spare time, she enjoyed shopping, reading novels, attending the Delaware State Fair annually, following professional tennis and spending as much time as possible with her family and friends.
Ginny is survived by her sister, Betty Fath; her children, Kevin Kooker (wife Susan), Keith Kooker (wife Monica); and grandchildren, Andrew, Ashley and Ryan.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Robert Kooker; her sister, Doris "Libby" Harris; and her cousin, Kathryn Fullinwider.
The family would like to thank State Street Assisted Living for their excellent care afforded Virginia in her final years. In addition, they also extend their appreciation of the care provided by Delaware Hospice during her final few months.
