Ginger, age 75, was born on June 30, 1939 in Hazelton, PA and passed away in Crossville, TN on June 29, 2015.  She grew up in White Haven, PA and made warm and welcoming homes with her cherished husband, Chuck, in Portland, CT, Crossville, TN, and Barefoot Bay, FL.  Ginger made everyone around her feel special.  She was talented, adding her own flair to everything she touched from her gardens to all of the beautiful crafts she made. She had a wonderful sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and a twinkle in her eye, but most of all, she was a warm and compassionate person.

After graduating from business school, she became a teacher’s aide and then school secretary in the Portland, CT school system for 23 years. She deeply loved being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and spending time with her family, friends, and her beloved dogs, who gave her so much comfort.

She is survived by her husband- Charles Montgomery; daughter-Jill McDowell (Jim); son- Eric Montgomery (Danette); grandchildren- Scott Raiola (Jaclyn), Chelsie Raiola, Kyle Montgomery, Evan Montgomery (Ashley), and Morgan Montgomery; and two great grandchildren.  A celebration of her life will be announced.
