Gina Lyn Garvin of Whitesboro was born August 19, 1966 and passed away on June 4, 2025.  

She was baptized at the First United Methodist Church of Whitesboro. She was the great, great, great granddaughter of Ambrose White, the founder of Whitesboro.  

She graduated from Whitesboro High School in 1984 and attended Grayson County College before going to Stephen F. Austin University.  Her work history included working as a manager at Bennigan’s Restaurants, Olive Garden, and Starbucks.  

With an employment agency, she used her experience to recruit personnel for other companies.  She also worked on the management staff at the Whitesboro Nursing Home.  

She collected friends, as her mother said, throughout her life. Even after battling cancer for the second time and rehabbing in a nursing home, she had friends of all walks of life. Her dear friend Gradene Blevins was with her, taking care of her until she passed. 

Her father, Robert Garvin preceded her in his death, as well as, her grandparents, Charles and Waunema Baum and Bob and Joretta Garvin.  

She is survived by her sons, Riley West Stricker and Connor Charles Hastcoat; mother, Kay Baum Moczygemba; stepfather, John Moczygemba; stepmother, Ginger Garvin; brother, Kevin Garvin; and aunts, Susan Cox and Becky Adams. Her cousins included Christie Huss, Michael Cox, Charlie Cox (deceased), and Dena Culpepper.

A celebration of her life was held at Christie and Jake Huss’s home.   She will rest at Oakwood Cemetery in Whitesboro with those who passed before her.
