Ginger Pfeifer was born September 15, 1935 to Raymond and Eleanor (Ubert) Ross in Hays, Kansas.
She attended a country school in Hyacinth before moving to Hays where she graduated from Girls Catholic High School while working at the local drugstore.
She met and fell in love with a country neighbor, Red Pfeifer. On November 24, 1953, they were wed at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Hyacinth. They started their family in Plainville, Kansas where Steve and Debby were born. In 1958 they moved to Hill City where they have made their home ever since. It was here that Shelly and Renee were added to the family. (And, no, Renee . . . you were not found under a rock)
Ginger enjoyed so many activities over the years including playing fast-pitch softball, tennis, darts, bowling, Garden Club, singing in the church choir and rock hunting with friends for her beautiful rock gardens. She loved her girl trips, happy hours, oil painting and camping. She had a green thumb and made her mark at The Unicorn where she became an amazing floral designer and manager.
Mom was such a special lady and always loved her turquoise jewelry, Southwest art and the Kansas City Chiefs. She got to see them win the super bowl! She enjoyed listening to all kinds of music, and there was rarely a night that she wouldn't stack record albums on the turntable as our household fell asleep. Family time, having everyone happy, being where the action was, and cooking for us brought her so much joy. Mom was the strongest and most unselfish person and instilled a deep faith in us. We are forever grateful for the example she set.
Ginger was preceded in death by her parents.
Survivors include her husband Red, Hill City; brother James Ross (Melva), Morland; Children: Steve (Jeanie) Pfeifer, Pratt, Debby (Don) Keller, Hutchinson, Shelly Crippen, Lenexa, Renee (Mack) Aspinall, Towanda, 12 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
The greatest gift a father can give his children is to love and respect their mother. We want to thank our father for loving, respecting and caring for our mother. Our parents are truly an inspiration to their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and their community. We will always love you, Ginger . . . Mom . . . Grandma
