She was born Feb. 17, 1947, in Rhinelander to Clayton and Charlotte (Wales) Slack.
Ginger attended Zion Lutheran grade school and graduated from Rhinelander High School in 1965. She married Gary L.

In addition to her roles as wife and mother, Ginger was employed in clerical work for various businesses including a number of years with the Rhinelander Daily News and finally with Trig's until her retirement.
Among her interests, Ginger enjoyed reading, puzzle books, ceramics, crocheting, camping, and music.

She was a gracious hostess who hosted fun-filled parties at the house for family and friends. Ginger also enjoyed supporting her husband, Gary, and his band "The Desperados" as they played throughout the area. She was a lifelong member of Zion Ev. Lutheran Church.
