BARBARA J. "GINNY" SUMMERS, age 84, The Lord gained another angel on Sunday, May 1, 2016. She had been a resident of St. Catherine's Manor for the past 16 months but had resided in the Frankfort area for the majority of her life.
She was born on October 27, 1931 in New Holland, Ohio to the late Floyd and Martha Lykins Summers. She was preceded in death by her brothers and sister-in-laws, Robert and Eloise, Dwight and Edna, David, and John B. Summers.

Barbara loved the activities at St. Catherine's Manor, especially playing Bingo. She loved flowers, good food, the Ross County Fair and music. As she passed, the Sunday church service at the Manor was singing "Victory in Jesus". This song was so appropriate for her.
