Ginger cherished her friendships made in her Sunday School class, “The Wesley Class”. She also enjoyed friends at the Mint Museum trips, fashion shows, Super Bowl dinners with her best friend, browsing antique shops, playing the piano and her poodles. Most of all she adored her husband and daughter.
