Virginia "Ginny" Deane Seleno Reeves, 77, of Murrells Inlet, SC, died Friday, April 22nd, 2011. Ginny was born to the late George and Theresa Seleno on January 21, 1934 in Winthrop, MA. She graduated from high school in New Bedford, MA. and went on to advanced studies in Fashion Design. She married Jack M. Reeves, Jr. on September 3rd, 1955. They raised their three children in Raleigh and Charlotte, NC where they retired in 1992. Ginny was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker. She was very active in her children's schools and activities, and she created a beautiful, nurturing home for her family. She had an amazing gift for decorating and creating beautiful things for her family and her friends. Her creative home d??cor was so unique that it was featured in the Charlotte Observer on March 16th, 1980. When her children were old enough, Ginny did several things outside the home that expressed her many talents such as selling upscale and boutique clothing; buying antiques for local businesses; ownership of her own quaint antique and treasures store, and starting a successful floral design business. In later years she devoted a great deal of love and attention to her six grandchildren, who she lovingly referred to as her "Angel Bumps". She and Jack shared their first meeting together dancing, which became a huge part of their life. They participated in many organized dance clubs as well as entertained on many, many occasions in their home, never hesitating to "roll up the rugs" and share the fun with their friends. One of Ginny's greatest passions was the beach. She and Jack vacationed with their family in North Myrtle Beach on many occasions. They ultimately moved to Ocean Lakes in Myrtle Beach, where she spent most of her years there soaking up the sun, shagging, and touching many people in the Grand Strand area with her special flavor of fun! Ginny knew no strangers and made many steadfast friends wherever she went. She had a unique gift for compassion for those she met as well as a gift for lighting up the room with her quick wit, humor and big blue eyes! Ginny is survived by her husband Jack Reeves of Murrells Inlet, SC, and her loving family: a daughter, Lenora Reeves Critcher and her husband Brad of Cary, NC; a son, Randy Reeves and his wife Brenda, of Wilmington, NC; and a daughter, Terri Reeves Howell and her husband Steve, of Raleigh, NC; six grandchildren: Amanda Critcher Walker and her husband Stephan of New York, NY, Meredith Critcher of Greensboro, NC, Danneale and Victoria Bell of Raleigh, NC, Brandon and Kyle Reeves of Wilmington, NC. Ginny wished for a private memorial for family only. On Easter Sunday, April 24th, 2011, those wishes were honored. On the beach, with her immediate family and God present, and with Reverend Jeff Wallace of Christ the King Church, Pawley's Island, SC presiding, her spirit was commended to heaven and all present remembered and celebrated her life as the morning sun rose majestically over the horizon. Ginny wished to be cremated and have her ashes placed in the ocean. In honor of Ginny, memorial donations can be made to Horry County Beach Patrol REEVES FUND, which will support the purchase of beach patrol rescue equipment. Donations should be sent to: Horry County Beach Patrol ??? REEVES FUND Attn. Carolyn Savage 2560 N. Main St. Suite 7 Conway, SC 29526
