Ginger Hardie Obituary
Ginger was preceded in death by her parents, Vic and Bea Dudley. She is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Don Hardie; her daughter Alysha (Ed Blegen); her son Ryan; 3 sisters Gayle (Jim) Schnobrich, Gwen (Bob) Lacina, and Gloria Dudley. As well as many nieces, nephews and other loving relatives and friends.
Ginger's greatest joy was spending quality time with her family and friends; we all benefited from the love and care that she showed us. She loved Minnesota summers, she spent many hours on her deck reading, having coffee, tending to her plants and playing with her fur baby Moose. Her love for family, the outdoors and the simple joys of life will always be remembered.
Ginger will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Ginger's care team with Minnesota Hospice.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, December 29, 2025 at 11 AM at Christiania Lutheran Church, located at 26691 Pillsbury Ave., Lakeville, MN 55044. Visitation 1 hour prior to service. In Lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to Christiania Lutheran Church. An additional service will be planned for the spring/summer of 2026 at the Dudley Memorial Cemetery in Nevis, MN to bury Gingers ashes.

My condolences to Don and family!

Just a letter of sympathy for family members don't think I will be able to make it but I remember all the times we went camping and fishing and get together at your parents or mine and would have a good time like tubing, hypnotizing and others

My heart breaks for you all! I have many fond memories with Ginger; she was the older and cooler cousin to me growing up! And lots of laughs at all my dad's hog roasts with her and Donny! Big hugs to you all, and I will see you at the service in Lakeville! Love you!
