Florence, SC

Ginger Sullivan Benson, 59, passed away on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Born in Monroe, NC, she was the beloved daughter of Brenda Sullivan and the late Heyward D. Sullivan, Sr.

Ginger was known for her warm and caring nature. A devoted caregiver at heart, she dedicated over 35 years to the field of long-term care, serving as an administrator at Springhill Assisted Living in Pageland, SC for the last seven years. Her love for people extended beyond her professional life; she was a cherished member of the Zoar Methodist Church, where she eagerly assisted her church family with various events.

Family held a special place in Ginger’s heart. She lovingly served as the “glue” that held her family together, ensuring her grandchildren enjoyed countless memorable summer days by the pool. Ginger had a passion for travel, often exploring new destinations with her husband, William “Bill” Benson, sharing adventures on many cruises, always eager for the next port of call.

She is survived by her husband, Bill, a son, Stephen Adeimy of Cheraw, SC, a daughter, Kaci (Cody) Weber of Cheraw, SC, sons, Lynn Scott Benson of Columbia, SC, Christopher (Ikumi) Benson of Naval Station Great Lakes, IL, and Troy Benson of Columbia, SC; and daughter, Jessica (Jeremy) Benson of Massillon, OH. Ginger is also survived by her mother, Brenda Sullivan of Cheraw, SC; a brother, Dan (Kelly) Sullivan of Chesterfield, SC; sisters, Tana (Jim) Murray, Dawn (Huey) Wallace, all of Cheraw, SC, and Leah (Kevin) Alford of Johnsonville, SC; as well as her cherished grandchildren: Sobie, Mason, Kodie-Grace, Lili-Anna, Jayven, Scottlyn, Phranky, Hayden, Karsyn, Bensyn, Emily, Matthew, and Owen, along with two great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ginger was preceded in death by her father, Heyward D. Sullivan, Sr. Her legacy of kindness, love, and service will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service will be held at 4:00PM on Sunday, August 10, 2025 at Zoar Methodist Church, Chesterfield, SC.

The family will receive friends from 3:00PM to 4:00PM prior to the service on Sunday, August 10, 2025 at Zoar Methodist Church.
