Virginia S. Liszanckie

Virginia S. "Ginny" Liszanckie, wife/mom/friend, passed away after a long illness on December 2, 2025, at her home in Eatontown, NJ. Born on March 5, 1945, in Newark, NJ, Ginny's life was a testament to importance of service and the impact one individual can have on the lives of many. Ginny's journey began as a bright student at Long Branch High School, where her academic excellence earned her a place in the National Honors Society. Her thirst for knowledge and self-improvement persisted throughout her life, as she often participated in various courses at Brookdale Community College, never ceasing to grow and learn.

For over two decades, Ginny served with distinction at Fort Monmouth. Her dedication was recognized with the Commander's Award for Civilian Service, highlighting her critical support to the Tactical Ground Reporting system (TIGR). Her role as a PEO C3T was not just a job; it was a mission she undertook with passion, serving her country with unwavering commitment.

Ginny's zest for life was paralleled by her creativity and love for jewelry making, an art that she both mastered and shared with those around her. Her baked goods were the highlight of many family gatherings and often appreciated by many friends during their time of need. She believed in the power of connection and the joy found in simple moments shared with loved ones.

Her volunteer work was a reflection of her generous spirit. Ginny gave her time and heart to Monmouth Medical Center and Christ The King Parish, where she cherished the opportunity to spend time with children, preparing for their first penance and communion. It was in these roles that Ginny's true happiness emerged and touched the future generation, leaving a legacy of kindness and faith.

Predeceased by her parents, Dominic and Antoinette Strollo of Oceanport, Ginny's love and lessons live on through her devoted husband, Richard E. Liszanckie, with whom she shared 56 years of unwavering love and partnership. Her daughters, Nicole Johnson and her husband, John, of Oceanport, and Regina Liszanckie and her partner, Jared Monschein, of Seattle, Washington, continue her legacy.

In the words of Helen Keller, "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Ginny's love, laughter, and legacy are forever etched in the hearts of those who knew her. She taught us that life's true beauty lies not in its length, but in the quality of its moments and the love we share.

Virginia S. Liszanckie's story is not one of sorrow but a celebration of a life well-lived, a journey marked by love, service, and the joy of lifelong learning. Let us honor her memory by embodying her unwavering positivity and by making each day count. Ginny's light continues to shine in the lives of all who were blessed to know her.
