Ginger had many talents and passions in this life. She was an avid gardener, quilter, painter and miniaturist. Her love of cooking and entertaining made every holiday a special occasion for her family.

Ginger was a member of several quilt guilds. She also spent many hours creating miniature projects with her dearest friend, Toni Smith. In 1999, Ginger had a featured exhibit at the Irvington House where dozens of her houses and vignettes were on display.

Ginger is survived by her sons, David (Marsha) Meckel and Phillip Meckel (Becky Harrison), 2 granddaughters, 4 grandsons and 8 great-grandchildren. Ginger was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Jack Meckel; her son, Michael Hanna and a great-granddaughter; and her brother Stan Cammack Jr. Per Ginger’s request, there will be no calling.
