Virginia E. Kuenning, age 73,

formerly of New Bremen, died on June 29, 2025, at the Otterbein Senior Lifestyles Community in St. Marys where she had resided since 2017. She was born on May 18, 1952, in Lima, the daughter of the late Robert E., Sr. and Mai Beaven (Beall) Kuenning. She is survived by her brother Mark (Kymberly) Kuenning of Cincinnati.

Gina was a 1970 graduate of New Bremen High School.

She possessed an avid love for reading, and could often be found at the New Bremen Public Library. As a lifelong member of St. Paul United Church of Christ, Gina found joy in her faith, actively participating in the life of the church through singing in the choir, being on the mission team, being involved in several women’s groups and more. Her dedication to her church was a reflection of her deep love for family, friends, and community. She was known for her nurturing spirit and her eagerness to help, always ready to lend a listening ear or a helping hand.
