Virginia D. Parisano

Virginia “Ginny” DeHaven Parisano, 73, of Charlotte, died peacefully on Sunday, April 11, 2021 in Holt. Virginia was born in Darby, Pa. on November 15, 1947, the daughter of Howard Robinson and Margaret Louise (Haynes) Hartman. She grew up in Upper Darby, Pa., where she graduated from Upper Darby High School before attending Philadelphia College of Arts and earning her associates degree. “Ginnyfish,” as she was affectionately known, lived a life full of artistic expression. She, like her father, created beautiful watercolor paintings and sketches, often done with crayons. She favored the color pink and loved Lucille Ball. In her later years, she was a grateful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Virginia is survived by her four children, Maria (Stuart Ratliff) Jackson, Jose (fiancé Jennifer Fopma) Ybarra, Juan Ybarra, and Angela Parisano; eight grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; brother, Lawrence Hartman; and her healing companion, her cat, Dr. Boo. She was predeceased by her husband, Vincent Parisano; and her daughter, Amanda Smith.
A private family service will take place at a later date. The family is in the care of Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.
