Ginger was a key punch operator and supervisor at the (KAFB) Kelly Air Force Base Special Weapons department. Virginia retired from civil service at KAFB on Dec. 31st, 1972.
Ginger was one of and in the Top 1% tier of the San Antonio Spurs’ basketball team’s loyal, die-hard, fan group. She rarely missed a game, and never got discouraged if they lost a game. Go Spurs!!
She missed out being a lifetime shareholder in the Anheuser-Busch Bud Light Company, but that didn’t stop her from making contributions!

He’s an American televangelist, preacher, author, and entrepreneur who founded and is the Senior Pastor of the Living Word Christian Center, a non-denominational church in Forest Park, Illinois, with over 22,000 members.
