RALEIGH, NC -- William M. "Bill" Ginn, 91, of Raleigh, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025. A devoted husband, father, physician, and friend, Bill will be remembered for his compassion, dedication, and hearty laughter.

Born on June 28, 1934, in Goldsboro, North Carolina, Bill was the beloved son of William Ginn and Annie Mildred Kelly Ginn. He grew up alongside his brother, Fred Ginn.

While working as a lifeguard along the North Carolina coast at Fort Macon, Bill met the love of his life, Peggy Williams. Their partnership became the foundation of a devoted marriage that lasted 60 years.

Beyond his professional life, Bill appreciated life's simple pleasures. He found peace and joy in the outdoors, spending countless hours gardening and raising livestock on his farm in Louisburg, NC.

He also enjoyed searching for Native American artifacts on local farmland.

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Peggy Williams Ginn; his parents, William and Annie Mildred Kelly Ginn; and his brother, Dr. Fred Ginn.
