BERRY,
Virginia
Gingerick M.A., PhD., D.Litt., Member of the
Order of Canada
Died in Victoria, British Columbia on Saturday, March 22. Born
in 1915 in North Manchester, Indiana to Fred and Julia
GINGERICK,
Virginia did her B.A. at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts.,
and took her M.A. (1938) and PhD (1941) in Medieval Studies at
the University of Chicago. After teaching at Stephens College,
Columbia, Missouri, Virginia moved to Winnipeg in 1943 on her
marriage to Edmund
BERRY of the Classics Department of the University
of Manitoba. She taught at Saint John's College (1943-44), from
which she received an Honorary Fellowship in 1986. While raising
her two daughters, Virginia began a lifelong involvement in the
Winnipeg Art Gallery. She was an early member and later President
of the Women's Committee, a member of the Building Committee
for the new Gallery, and a Board member for many years, including
a term as Vice- President. In 1986 she was made a Member of the
Order of Canada for her work in the arts community. She was awarded
an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Winnipeg
in 1987. As Guest Curator at the Winnipeg Art Gallery she wrote
two book-length exhibition catalogues, A Boundless Horizon and
Vistas of Promise, on the history of Manitoba art. This year
she completed a manuscript on the role of women in Manitoba art,
1880 to 1920. In the fifties, Virginia sat on the Boards of Balmoral
Hall School and the Middlechurch Home. She was a member of the
Altar Guild of All Saints Anglican Church for more than 50 years.
Virginia loved historical research, antiques, art and travel.
She and Edmund travelled often to England, spent part of each
winter with Friends in Spain, and more recently wintered in Victoria.
She was slow to criticize and quick to encourage. Her quiet strength
and warm support endeared her to many. She will be remembered
for her grace and dignity, and her kindness. She is survived
by her husband of 59 years, Edmund, daughters Julia
MELNYK
