Virginia Keen Obituary
Virginia (Ginger) Majure Keen passed away August 2, 2025, in the comfort of her own home, having been surrounded by family and loved ones.
Born in 1952 in Panama City, FL, Ginger was a graduate of B.C. Rain High School, and the University of Mobile (then Mobile College) both in Mobile, AL. She spent her career as a social worker for the State of Alabama.
Her life was a tapestry of love based on her faith in God, caring for, ministering to, and giving always to those around her. As pianist for her beloved church family at Tree of Life Christian Church, she applied her beautiful gifts of song, music, and love of the Word to serving others. Ginger touched a myriad of souls in her lifetime and will be missed by all.
