Ginger and her family lived on the Brown and Tolvry Ranch for several years before moving into Dalhart where she attended school through graduation in 1973. Ginger went to work for Coon Memorial nursing home and hospital until she decided to continue her education at Frank Phillips College where she received her LVN. She went back to work at Coon Memorial and then moved onto BSA Hospital and Infinity Home Health in Amarillo, TX. She later returned to Dalhart with the home health company as the supervisor.
