Ginetta Maria Perrino

Ginetta Maria Perrino May 1, 1937 – June 21, 2025 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our dear sister and aunt Ginetta who was known to most as “Jan”, and “Aunt Jan” or “Mimi” to her nephews and nieces. Jan lived 88 wonderful years and battled heart issues and cancer. Ginetta was beloved by her parents, Maria Francesca Liano and Giuseppe Perrino, who immigrated from Guardia Piemontese in Calabria, Italy in the 1920’s. She leaves many loved ones, including: her sister Violet Muglia (husband Dominic – deceased), nephews Dr. Louis Muglia (wife Lisa), and John (wife Dana), her niece Karen, also great niece Sarah, and great nephews Peter (wife Michaela) and Adam, as well as her great, great niece Lucia (daughter of Peter). Ginetta grew up in Detroit, Michigan on Rolfs Place off of Mack Avenue. She attended Pingree grade school and St. Catherine’s through middle school and high school. The family moved to Bringard on the northeast side of Detroit in 1953. After high school, Ginetta became a hair stylist and served customers in the basement of her home. In her mid-20’s, she went to work for Marsh and McClennan Insurance Company. Initially, she performed various office duties, but then joined the accounting department. She worked hard through the years and became the accounting manager. This was a great accomplishment! Ginetta was with the company for over 25 years and was fortunate to retire when she was 51 years old. In the mid-90’s, she moved into a condominium in Shelby Township to be closer to her sister who had moved to Sterling Heights a few years before. There she enjoyed gardening and planting flowers in her patio and court. She also helped neighbors and helped to facilitate improvements in her community. Through the years, she also enjoyed family occasions and holidays with her sister, nephews and nieces. She did not have children, so she was close to her nephews and nieces and always remembered them on their birthdays and special occasions. She was very proud of their accomplishments, shared in their successes and supported them during life’s challenges. Ginetta loved all things Italian! She enjoyed Italian music, food and traditions, and had travelled to Italy twice. She helped her parents in their garden, and helped to make homemade wine and sausage. She also had a special devotion to the Blessed Mary and often prayed the rosary. Ginetta was a strong, independent and loving lady who was blessed to live 88 years, overcoming heart issues and breast cancer twice. She is in heaven now with her dear parents and other loved ones. Rest in peace dear “Jan”, “Aunt Jan”, “Mimi”. We love you. You will be deeply missed, and we will cherish our memories with you.
