• Ginny Kelly, 80 (whitehallledger.com) — An obituary honors longtime resident Ginny Jackson Kelly, who was born in Livingston in 1945 and leaves behind family still living in Livingston and across the region. She passed peacefully on April 3 at age 80, and a celebration of life is planned for July 12, with details to be announced. Friends are encouraged to donate to a Whitehall charity or another cause they value.
