James Joseph McGinn

James Joseph McGinn of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and formerly of Philadelphia died peacefully at home on Tuesday, November 19, 2019.  He was 78. 

Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late John W. and Esther Mooney McGinn. 

He was a devoted husband of 49 years to Barbara (nee Rhodes).

James was a proud veteran of the United States Army and served six years in the 82nd Airborne.  He worked at Tastykake company for over 30 years until his retirement.  He enjoyed watching action movies, renovating his home, fishing with his friends and watching sports, but above all he cherished every moment he spent with his family.  James will be greatly missed but eternally remembered as a humble, generous and loving man. 

In addition to his wife Barbara, James is survived by his loving and devoted children, Mary Mongeluzi (Tony), Maureen Brooks, Kelly Mtairi (Nicholas), Allison Julian (Greg), Bridget Dooner (Matthew).  He is also survived by his sister Mary Koob (Albert), his 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. 

The family will be forever grateful to James’ caregiver, Jean Dean who went above and beyond and through the care she provided gave them innumerable comfort. 

James’ family will receive friends on  Monday, December 16, 2019 from 9:30AM until his funeral mass 10:00AM at The Olde Church of St. Andrew, 135 South Sycamore Street Newtown, PA 18940.  His interment will follow with Military Honors at Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Newtown, PA.
