Virginia “Ginny” Lynn (Krech) Jasko, 81, of Manasquan, passed away on Monday, December 26, 2022, after a brief illness. Born February 9, 1941, in Hackensack, New Jersey, to Virginia De Baun (Pardee) and Edward Max Krech, she graduated from Glen Rock High School in Glen Rock, New Jersey, and Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Ginny was the wife of the late Albert “Al” Frank Jasko. They married on March 10, 1973, in Ridgewood, New Jersey. They are survived by their two children: son Todd Jasko of Boulder, Colorado (and his wife Heather Kelley), and son Christopher Jasko of Prague, Czech Republic. Ginny worked as a Jacki Sorensen aerobic dancing instructor well into her sixties and was an avid Pilates practitioner at 81. She conducted the choir for Four Seasons’ annual Christmas pageant for many years, and enjoyed historical novels, traveling, iced coffee with ice cream, losing money at mahjong, and talking about her grandchildren. In addition to her children, Ginny is survived by three grandchildren, Kryštof, Amálie, and Vilém, of Prague, Czech Republic; her brother Alan and sister-in-law Lou Krech of Columbia, South Carolina; and her sister-in-law Joan (Gras) Krech of Salem, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her husband Al and brother Edward M. Krech Jr.
