Jacksonville – Virginia "Ginger" Ruoss Court, 82, of Jacksonville, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2025. Born on February 9, 1943, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Ginger's life was one of passion, loyalty, and adventure. Married to Kenneth B. Court for 48 years, she built a life rich in love, laughter, and lasting friendships.

She was stubborn and loyal to a fault, traits that defined not only her relationships but also her lifelong dedication to the things she loved most-her horses, her dogs, and the vibrant community of horse shows she cherished. Even at 82, Ginger could still be found in the saddle, cheering on her friends and living each day with gusto.

Known for her fierce love of friends and her ever-ready invitation to share a margarita, Ginger leaves behind a legacy of warmth, humor, and determination.

There will be no formal services at this time, but Ginger would love to be remembered with a smile, a prayer, or simply by raising a glass in her honor.
