My deepest condolences to the family of Ginger; I worked with Ginger at Princeton High School in the adaptive PE program. I enjoyed our daily chats and her amazing caring and love for her special Miss Connie. We have lost a real beauty.
I was privileged to work with Ginger at Princeton High School for a number of years. What a blast! She was smart, funny, hard-working, but most importantly, a caring woman who genuinely loved the students she worked with. I will love her ForEver.
I so sorry for your family’s loss ! She was a great lady and always had a smile on her face!
