Ginger knew her purpose in life was to care for others, as a nurse for 35 years she dedicated her life to the care and nurturement of loved ones and strangers alike. Her children were her greatest accomplishments. As a mother she could be found screaming loudly for her daughters at their cheer events. Ginger was their biggest supporter, best friend, and a prominent example of a strong woman in their life. Available as a shoulder to cry on as well as being a comforting and supportive listener, she had a solution for any problem. Ginger loved to travel, especially to the beach, her favorite thing to do was create wonderful memories with her family and friends. Always ready for a good time you could find Ginger singing along with her sisters at concerts and tearing up a dance floor. Her love for birthdays and holidays was immense. She took pride in spoiling loved ones, her daughters in particular. Ginger also enjoyed cozy nights on the couch laughing and watching movies with her loving husband Charles and talking about the life they were building. Professionally Ginger took her caring nature one step further, creating Angel Advocacy, LLC. with the intention to ensure patients final wishes were respected and they had access to all resources available to ensure their care.
