Obituary for ROOP


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday August 13, 2008

Virginia (Ginny) Roop died August 3, 2008. Her love and compassion for others was unequaled. She never met a person she did not like; she just liked some people more than others. Her goals in life were simple: help others in need and help people achieve their goals in any way she could. She is survived by four daughters, Laurie Roop, Cindy Roop, Bobbi Roop, and Peggy Roop-Cortez; two sons-in-law, Jessie Cortez and Stephen Joyce; a granddaughter, Katie Lyons; two brothers, Russell Wood and Everett Wood; several nieces and nephews, and numerous friends. Her husband, Don Roop, preceded her in death. Everyone who knew her will miss her very much. She was a great lady. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 8, 2008 at the First Congregational Church on the corner of Lomas and Girard at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Habitat for Humanity.
