She worked as an Administrative Assistant at Apollo High School from 1977 until her retirement in 2007. In retirement she worked part-time at the Hallmark store until very recently.
Ginger met many special friends in multiple bridge clubs. She enjoyed golfing and gardening and always looked forward to going up-north. She had an adventurous spirit who was always ready for a fast ride in an ATV. Vacationing with her sisters and brother-in-law was always an adventure. She cherished time with family. Her kids and grandkids especially looked forward to "cookie day" when they would all go to her house to bake Christmas Cookies.
