Zion Lutheran Church, for 17 years, and enjoyed directing Vacation Bible School. In June of 2016, Gina and Leon decided to grow their family and joyously adopted six children: Alexis Lopez, Miranda Herrera, Prisilla Herrera, and Anthony, Samuel, and Yoanna Wittner. Gina cherished becoming a grandma to Jaziel, Rosalyn, and Luis Quezada-Lopez. Gina was passionate about caring for others and reveled in being a mother and grandmother.
