Her kindness, compassion and unwavering loyalty left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. Ginger believed deeply in caring for others and in the power of community. Through her actions and the way she lived her life, she created a place of belonging for many people who needed it most.

Ginger is survived by her family at Okmulgee County Homeless Shelter, along with extended family and many dear friends whose lives were enriched by her presence.

A service celebrating Ginger’s life was held at Redeemer Episcopal Church on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at 3 p.m., with a reception to follow.

All who knew and loved Ginger are welcome to attend and celebrate a life that was lived with generosity, compassion and deep care for others. Her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she supported, protected and loved.
