December 22, 1937- February 25, 2025
at the age of 87 years:
With great sadness we announce the passing of Trevor Thomas Ginn on February 25, 2025 at his home in Shuswap Lodge. Trevor was born in Salmon Arm, BC on December 22, 1937 to Annie and Ivor Ginn.
Trevor grew up on the family farm in Deep Creek with his parents and 11 siblings. As a young man he built a log home on a small farm near by with his first wife Verona Groome and their two daughters. He would fondly recount how much he loved working on his property during those times. As a career, he was a heavy equipment operator, but his passions were fishing, hunting, camping and prospecting for gold. In mid-life he built a cabin near the community of Pinantan Lake on a beautiful and quiet land. There he reveled in nature and proclaimed the best doctors were silence and solitude. His second wife Annelise Bartlett joined him there for many years. In his last 10 months of life, he came home to Salmon Arm where he could be surrounded by his loving daughters Teresa Kreeft and Gena Ginn along with his grandchildren Spencer Giandomenico, Cody Kreeft and Katrina Giandomenico.
He was predeceased by his parents Annie and Ivor Ginn along with sisters, Christine and Kathleen, and brothers Lawrence and George. He is survived by his daughters and grandchildren as well as sisters Betty Barz, Molly Parker, Gwen Pipe, Pat Ginn, Rose (Don) Short, Marjorie (Don) Robertson and Linda (George) Turi.
“May my spirit drift with the wind through the wilderness.” – T.T. Ginn

Rest in peace
