Ginny Unanue

Ginny was raised in Carlsbad, and attended St. Michael's from the age of four.  Her mother, Dorothy Krepps, brought her to church services here, and since there was no Sunday School at that time, took her to what is now the Carlsbad Community Church for Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.  Ginny was confirmed and married at St. Michael's, and remembers when what is now our chapel was our only church.  It was located between Lincoln Street and Carlsbad Blvd., and had a small graveyard with it.  That was the only cemetery ever in Carlsbad.  Ginny attended Carlsbad Schools from Kindergarten through High School, and was in Carlsbad's 3rd graduation class of 82 students.  After graduating from San Diego State, she came back to teach here.  She retired after teaching for 38 years at Pine School, and also at Magnolia School.  She has one son and daughter-in-law, Chris and Monique, and three beautiful and brilliant grandchildren, Justin, Whitney, and Riley.
