Virhinia "Ginny" McNulty

Nov 8th, 2026

Virginia "Ginny" McNulty (Samel), 76, of Marshfield, Massachusetts, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026. She is survived by her husband of 25 years, Mark McNulty; her sister, Terri Miller and her husband, David; her brother, Hiram Samel and his wife Brigid; and her many neices and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Nan and Norman Samel.

Born in Andover, Massachusetts, Ginny spent many years living in Massachusetts and Maine coastline. She attended Syracuse University and often shared stories of driving around Syracuse with her grandfather while he listened to football games on the radio.

Ginny's career reflected both her creativity and her compassion. She began in programming before pursuing her interest and natural talent for interior design. Later in life, she returned to school at Simmons University to study social work and found a career she truly loved. She dedicated herself to helping others through her work in both hospital and private practice settings.

Ginny had a contagious laugh, a wonderful sense of humor, and a way of making people feel comfortable. She was someone you could talk to about anything, whether you needed advice, a listening ear, or simple good laugh. She loved the ocean, her dogs, and traveling to Ireland, a place she and Mark loved so much that they eventually became Irish citizens. She also had a serious love of chocolate and could often be found relaxing on the couch with a bowl of M&M's close at hand.

Family held a special place in Ginny's heart. She adored her nieces, nephews, and their children, whoaffectionately called her "Graunty Ginny." Ginny drove an hour each week to help care for her great neiece, a reflection of how much being part of her family's lives meant to her.

Ginny was deeply loved by her husband, family and friends. She will be remembered for her laughter, her warmth, and the countless conversations and moments shared with those who knew her. Her absence will be feltdeeply, but the love and memories she leaves behind will remain.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Barbara and Pat Roshe Hospice Home in Hingham, Massachusetts, or to charity of your choice.
