I last saw Ginger in Pocotello Idaho in 1962 or 1963. I remember she had just had a baby. I go through Pocotello at least once a year and always think of her and our visit so many years ago. I was so sorry to hear of her passing away. She was always fun and interesting. My prayers and thoughts are with her family and friends.

I WORKED WITH GINGER AT MOM & POPS AT 4 CORNERS, QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. SHE WAS ALWAYS KIND TO ME AND IMMEDIATELY WE BECAME FRIENDS. I DIDN'T SEE HER AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY, BUT SHE STILL WARMED MY HEART, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW SHE DIDN'T FEEL VERY WELL. I GOT HER TO SING SOME SONGS SHE LEARNED AT CAMP WHEN SHE WAS 10. WE LAUGHED TOGETHER AND KNEW THAT WE WERE RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OF 15 YEARS AGO. NOW SHE IS NO LONGER IN PAIN AND CAN BE THAT INDEPENDENT LIFE THAT SHE WANTED AGAIN SO BADLY.
SHE WILL BE MISSED. THE FAMILY IS IS MY PRAYERS. IF I CAN DO ANYTHING,PLEASE CONTACT ME. CINDEE

I was in the same King's Lake Camp cabin as Ginger back in the 50's and have always remembered her for her sense of humor, her perky attitude and her friendly acceptance of a rather shy cabin-mate...plus the fact that I loved her name! I never ran into her again, but she made an impression on me, and I'm glad I've got her in one or two old camp pictures. My very sincere sympathy to her family. Here's to you, Ginger - you helped make camp fun, and you won't be forgotten. Rest in peace.
