Ginger was born October 21, 1932 in Floydada, TX to Deuel and Tressie McCracken. On January 5, 1950, she married the love of her life, Glen B. Gibson, with whom she shared many devoted years until his passing.

Virginia and Glen were blessed with two daughters, Pam and Debbie, who remained at the center of her life. Known affectionately by many–Ginger, Shorty, and Nana–she was deeply loved by all who knew her.

She enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including baking, crocheting, and participating in the Red Hat Society. Virginia was also actively involved in her community, belonging to School Chums–an organization that began in her own living room–and attending the senior group at Trinity.

Virginia’s life was a beautiful reflection of love, generosity, and joy, and she will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is preceded in death by her parents Deuel and Tressie McCracken, her beloved husband Glen B. Gibson, and her daughter Debbie Haag.

Virginia “Ginger” Gibson is survived by her daughter Pamela Jones and husband Calvin of Amarillo. She also leaves behind six grandchildren: Katherine Hardy and husband Joseph of Amarillo, Texas; Stephen Jones of Alpharetta, Georgia; Crystal Mestas of Salida Colorado; Brian Johnson of Amarillo, Texas; Gerry Haag and wife Renee of Amarillo, Texas; and Richard Haag and wife Ginger of the United Kingdom.

Virginia was blessed to a large and loving legacy, including 10 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren.

The family extends and special thank you to Bob and Donna Haag of Amarillo, Texas, for the many years of support, care and love they showed her.

She is also survived by many dear friends and extended family members, all of whom were touched by her generous heart and unwavering love.

In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made to Meals on Wheels in honor of Virginia, as she faithfully gave each year in memory of her beloved Glen.
