Ginger was an avid football fan where she rooted for the Saints, Ole Miss, and anyone in the Manning family. She enjoyed playing dominos with her friends Toot, Norma, Marion, Janice and their late friend Mary. She loved watching old western shows and Fox News. She was a collector of all things Frosty the Snowman. She attended every family event no matter the circumstances, and found her greatest joy, spending time outside watching her great-grandchildren play. Ginger never met a stranger, and she was loved by everyone who knew her. She was a one-of-a-kind, witty, selfless mother, grandmother and friend. She will be missed but never forgotten by all who knew her.
