Ginger was an avid Seattle Seahawks fan and especially enjoyed the Mariners. Ginger's greatest joy was her family and especially her children and grand children that she so dearly loved. She was a hard worker and possessed an indominatable spirit and dedication to do what was right. Even her illness failed to deter her dedication and love for her family. She exemplified service above self. Ginger possessed a wonderful singing voice. Her song will remain in my heart forever.

Hi Mom. 24 years today now. Aiden is 19. He’s a good kid. I think you’d like him. You are missed beyond words. Tell Jay hi. His kids sure do miss him. I love you.
Hey Mom. Aiden is 15 now. The teenage years are HORRIBLE and I just wanted to say I’m sorry for being a shit teenager because now I have one and it SUUUUCKS! I miss you every single day. We watched Beej & Nicole’s wedding video the other weekend and I heard your voice for the first time in YEARS AND YEARS. I didn’t even recognize it. Made me sad but I smiled hearing you again. I am still stressing Dad out every day at 40 so … keeping him on his feet as usual. That’s all… just missing you today.
Dear Brad,
I read in the Bomber Alumni Sandstorm about Ginger’s passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy. It has been many years since I saw you last. It was when I came over to see Frank, and we came to visit you and Ginger in an “A” house on Haupt? I think. If you get over to this side of the mountains, look me up. My husband and Mother and 2 kids live in Tumwater. Take care, Love, Paula Moberg Bigelow
Dear Brad,
I saw the notice of Gingers passing on the Col-Hi web page and am so, so sorry. It was good to see you and Ginger and meet some of your family while you were at the cheese factory a couple of years ago. I will be praying for you and your family at this very difficult time.
Love, Peggy
Brad,
Our Daughter, Karen told us of Ginger’s passing. You will be in our prayers.
Brian
Brad,
Our most sincere sympathies are extended to you and your family at this difficult time. Although we and our families have gone down different paths in life, it is with fond memories that I recall those years when we worked together, and I got to know you and Ginger. The twinkle in her eye, the mischevious smile, and her gentle nature I will remember. You two made a great pair!
We will pray for her, and for comfort to you and your family. We hope that you find relief in the many memories and experieces that you shared in life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Ron and Marion Vocht
I miss you mom.
It’s still hard for me to believe that I can’t just pick up the phone and hear Ginger’s wonderful laugh. The years have passed, but I still replay our long talks about our fight against cancer… Ginger gave me the strength to continue. I will always love and miss her.
My very best to the family, I hope that you have all been happy and thrived — Ginger loved you all so much!
Hi Mom,
I wish you were here so much. To be here and see Aiden. I know you would be so in love with his tender yet strong little personality.He is so cute! I show a picture of you to him every now and then but it just hurts to know he won’t ever have his Grandma .. We all miss you more than words. I love you.
I will always love you like the dearest sister you were to me. You did an excellent job raising your family..I am so proud of all of them. I am looking forward to the time we will be together again.
I miss my mom so much it hurts. Aiden is 3 and a half now… Wish he knew you. . . He is a fire cracker and wish I had the grandma whip!
I love you.
Here I am again … I miss you, Mom! I’m married now..To the greatest guy I’ve ever met in my entire life! You would absoultly ADORE him! I know you would. Aiden is now 6 and just as funny as can be. He says some random weird stuff and I just can’t help but laugh and hear your humor through him. I love you & think of you almost daily.
