On Tuesday, March 2, 2021, Virginia "Ginger" Ruth (Ward) Poynor of Spring, TX and loving mother of two children, passed away at age 77.

Ginger was adopted by her parents, Morris Seldon "Jack" Ward and Fannie Lou (Webb) Ward on May 21, 1943 in San Antonio, TX. She grew up in Corpus Christi, TX where she attended W.B.

She is survived by her children Hope Ward (Poynor) Middleton and her husband Bruce Middleton and Jack Ward Poynor and his wife Laura K. Poynor; Grandchildren Holly (Middleton) Stern and her husband Samson Stern, Trevor Poynor and Taylor Poynor.
