Virginia Louise "Ginny" Busby Sigler, 72, of Bowling Green, and formerly of Henderson, KY., passed away peacefully on March 28, 2019, with her family by her side.    Ginny was born on April 29,1946, in Henderson, Kentucky, to Gilbert Lightfoot and Bettye Hallmark Busby, the oldest of 4 children.   Small, but mighty, she reveled in being the protector and leader of her siblings.  The family traveled extensively, living in Morocco, California, and Arizona, before returning to Henderson when Ginny was 12.    She was a proud 1964 graduate of Henderson City High, the Flash, and was one the first graduates from the nursing program at Henderson Community College.   Ginny met Gene Clayton Sigler on the night she graduated from college, and on November 5, 1966, they were married.   During the first years of marriage, they lived in Cincinnati and Ginny worked for Gibson Greetings.  In 1969, they returned to Henderson County to live on the family farm in Zion.  In 1970, they adopted daughter Kerry Lynn, followed by a son, Christopher Keach, in 1976.     Ginny enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom for many years.     In 1988, she returned to the work world and had a career and second family at Home Oil & Gas Co., where she worked until illness forced her retirement.   Ginny loved volleyball and tennis, but golf was her true passion.  She was the Henderson Country Club Champion in 2002, and over the years she shot 3 holes-in-one.  She had fond memories of her ladies golf circle, and treasured the many wonderful memories they made on and off the course.    Ginny's crowning achievement was her status as grandmother and GG to her 6 grandchildren.  She loved them "a bushel and a peck", and she was very proud of their accomplishments.
