Ginger Lynn Kirkman Werner, 60, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on June 15, 2026, after a courageous ten year battle with cancer. Ginger was a force of nature - strong willed, and fiercely independent. To her family, she was the strongest person they had ever known, facing every challenge with unwavering faith and determination. She was a dedicated Credit Manager, highly respected for her work ethic. She enjoyed fine dining, shopping, traveling to the beach and mountains, and the pride she took in keeping her yard and property immaculate. She especially cherished the time she spent fishing with her father, Charles Kirkman. Though Ginger never gave birth to children, she raised her niece and nephew, Brianna Todd and Cody Swicegood, as her own. Lovingly known as “Gingi”, she adored Brianna’s children, Eleia Mayes, Luke Mayes, and Haley Todd, who were like grandkids to her and brought her immense joy. Ginger is survived by her beloved husband, Bill Werner; her sisters, Robin Osborne and Pepper Kirkman Mayes; her nieces and nephew, Emily Osborne, Dalton Mayes (Corinne), Alex Mayes (Abby), and Airel Young (Tyler); her mother-in-law, Mae Werner; her beloved dogs, Roscoe and Skye, and her cherished cats, Loki, Lane, Bell, and Nala. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Kirkman and Lynda Jo Barnes Kirkman; her sister, Candis Kirkman Swicegood; and her faithful companion dog, Ringo. Ginger’s strength, loyalty, and fierce love leave a legacy that will never be forgotten. She will be deeply missed and forever loved. A visitation will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Moody Funeral Home Chapel with a memorial service officiated by Reverend Steven A. Smith to follow at 3:00 PM .
