Not sure what to say?

Ginger was an amazing person and I'm sorry to hear of her passing. She inspired music to many children and I'm sorry to say I wish my grandchildren would of had the opportunity to learn her love for music as well.

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant!"

My husband, Jay Holmes, and St. Paul´s United Methodist Church of Manteca Mission Bells, and the St. Paul´s Chancel Choir had the privilege of ringing and singing under Ginger´s direction for the Habitat for Humanity sing and for Bells of Blessing for many years. She was a superb director, inspiring each of us to be better musicians with joy and gratitude to God. She will be sorely missed.

Miss Covert made such an impact on my life. She was dynamic and a wonderful role model for any teenage girl. She made us accomplish things we never thought we could. RIP

This incredible woman created some of my greatest high school experiences and inspired a love of singing and eventually a teaching career of my own. She was a gift to all who had the honor to call her their teacher. Handel´s Messiah for high school students! Hallelujah Hallelujah Ginger Covert Colla your light forever shines bright in the hearts of the students who adored you.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
