Ginger was a dedicated homemaker, and gave of herself freely to her family and church, Zion Lutheran of Harvester, MO. She was a member of the original Zion Lutheran birthday club. Ginger volunteered her time in the school cafeteria and library at Zion Lutheran School. She was also involved in Boy scouts as a den mother for cub scout pack 757.

Ginger loved her flower gardens as well the animals, birds and insects they attracted. Her love for hummingbirds was unmistakable. Most of all, Ginger was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who enjoyed supporting her family and loving them unconditionally. She was deeply cherished and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made in Ginger's honor to Folds of Honor or the Zion Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund.
