Virginia L. "Ginger" Lewis, 76 of Chipley, Florida went to her heavenly home on Saturday, March 29th at Northwest Florida Community Hospital surrounded by her family.

Ginger was proceeded in death by her husband, J. D. Lewis, son Randy Lewis and siblings, Eugene Petchak, Ronnie Jones and Kathy Sanders.

Ms. Ginger, as she was affectionately known to most, spent her life caring for others. While raising her own children, she played a significant role in raising many more children by running a daycare in her home. In her later years, she was known to care for many elderly friends whether that meant regular visits to the nursing home or sitting by their bedside during their last days. Her love for others radiated through her actions. Of all the people she loved and cared for, her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She was known to stop for ice cream on the way home from school, be found out in the yard playing ball or pulling them in a wagon. She was always cheering them on in all aspects of life and was their biggest fan.

Ms. Ginger kept her charm, grace and especially her faith, even through difficult times. She loved the Lord and loved to share the word of Jesus with everyone she met.

Memorial Service for Ginger will be held Friday, April 11, 2025 with visitation from 5-6pm and service to follow at 6pm at Brown Funeral Home Chapel.
