“No words are good enough to describe Ginger. Doc's side kick and our friend. By January of 1978 we were friends in Kingsley and that continued into the 2000's with Turkey Hunting excursions to our place in Iowa. Loved her so much. Enjoyed her stories of their KID'S and mostly grandkids. She was momma to her children and Doc's sense of reason. She will be missed.”

“I am so sorry for your loss. Ginger was an amazing lady, I know her from working at the nursing home as a dietary aide. She always asked me how I was and asking me about school. She was the first person I told when I decided on college, she always made sure if the weather was bad to drive safely. She was always so considerate, I looked forward to seeing her every time I went to work. When it was a bad shift her and I would laugh about what was going on. She was an amazing lady and so sweet work will be completely different without her. ~MacKenzie Wallace”
