Virginia "Ginny" Baxter (December 3, 1932 – December 18, 2014)[1] was an American figure skater from Detroit.[2] She was born in Detroit, Michigan. She won the bronze medal at the United States Figure Skating Championships three times and captured the bronze at the 1952 World Figure Skating Championships (competition held March 1).[3] Perhaps the high point of her career was the 1952 Winter Olympics, where she won the free skating portion of the event, placing 5th overall after an 8th place in the compulsory figures.[4]
After her competitive career, she was part of Ice Capades' 1953 show called Land of Lollipops.[5] She died on December 18, 2014.[6]
