Virginia “Ginny” Mika passed away on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at the age of 83. She was born on July 31, 1942, in St. Louis, Missouri.
Ginny was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and a friend to all. There wasn’t a crossword puzzle she couldn’t solve, and she was an avid fan of every child and grandchild’s activities—always celebrating, always cheering them on, and rarely missing a game, event, or ceremony. Watching her grandchildren and spending time with family brought her immense joy.
She now reunites in eternal peace with her beloved late husband of 55 years, John “Jack” Mika.
Dear mother of John (Amy) Mika, Tamara (Scott) Carlton, and Jeff (Anne) Mika; proud grandmother of Kelsey, Abby, Jack, Matt, Logan, Sophie, Emily, and Cole.
Ginny lived a beautiful life, and we will carry many wonderful memories of her. She will forever remain in our hearts.
