Virginia "Ginger" Gail Fiene, 68, passed away on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, at her home in Des Moines, Iowa. To her family and friends who knew her well, she was known as Ginger. Her family will receive friends 5-7 pm Wednesday, June 8th at Iles Westover Chapel. A graveside service will be held at 11 am Thursday, June 9th at Masonic Cemetery.
Ginger was born on December 11, 1953, in Memphis, TN to John and Dorothy Williams. She was the oldest of 2 brothers and a sister. She graduated from Lawton-Bronson High School in 1972 and went on to graduate from Nettleton Business College in Sioux Falls, SD.
In 1980, Ginger met Duane through a mutual friend, and they were inseparable. They were married on March 20, 1982, raised 3 children, and celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss this year. She was very dedicated to her family and enjoyed being a loving grandma.
Besides spending time with her family, Ginger had a passion for adventure. She loved traveling, taking new roads to get home, bird watching, and playing games. She enjoyed cooking and could whip together enjoyable meals without a recipe. Her generous and kind nature will never be forgotten by her family.
Ginger is survived by her husband Duane Fiene; daughter Jessica (Josh) Deupree; son Marcus Fiene; stepson David (Alisha) Fiene; foster-son Troy (Stacy) Rasty; and 5 grandchildren; brother Gene (Annie) Williams; brother John (Marina) Williams; sister Debbie Evans.

May God's Blessings touch each heart that "Ginger's" special heart touched along as you remember her as you eat those meals she prepared for her family and friends. When you sit down to a meal to eat say a prayer to her in her memory.
