Gina I. Van Riper, age 58, of Gregory, Michigan, passed away on March 23, 2022 at her home.

She was born on May 19, 1963 in Ann Arbor, MI, the daughter of William and Dorothy (Haider) Van Riper.

Gina had lived in the area her entire life, graduating from Chelsea High School in 1981. She enjoyed the country life and spending time outdoors. Growing up on a dairy farm instilled a love for all animals, especially horses and dogs. Her passion throughout her life was horseback riding.
