Virginia Diane "Ginger" Adamowicz

Virginia Diane "Ginger" Adamowicz left us too soon, January 10, 2023, age 87. Wife of 66 years to the love of her life, Raymond Sr, mother of Kevin Patrick, (Donna, nee Meeker) Diana Rae Clasen, (Rick, deceased) Raymond Frank Jr.(Charmaine Paine) Grandmother of Chelsea, Rick; great grandmother, devoted aunt of many. (Aunt Ginny loved and adored all of you) Sister of Joan Licht (deceased) survived by her baby sister Judy Boothe.  Daughter of the late Winton and Nina (nee Allen)                                                        

Ginger was a farm girl who lived many adventures with her sisters between the Firelands of Ohio and the cotton fields of Alabama. She was a gifted artist with an extraordinary vocabulary that matched her capricious wit and expansive imagination. Ginger was kind, generous, thoughtful, and mischievous. She loved a little practical joke, was the inventor of a dish known as "blech," made the best potato salad, fried chicken and lemon meringue pie man has ever tasted, and hosted more neighborhood kids in the backyard pool than any other mom. Sprayed them with the hose in the front yard as well. She reigned supreme in sock fights and Monopoly; Ginger was a Rainbow girl, then a South Euclid Lioness; she was a 25 year member of Ladies Auxiliary Post 30. She modeled clothes for "Bee Line," at times tended bar at Landerhaven, and other swinging spots. She was a bookkeeper and an employee of the Euclid School System. She was a Cub Scout Den Mother, Home Room mother and PTA Mom. She was a fierce if  not objective defender of her kids.. Okay, she was fierce. She was a beauty. She would laugh until she cried. She loved until she ached. Then she loved some more. She was strong. She loved her husband, she loved her kids, her family, her dogs. She loved the children in her care. She was the mom that always took in strays, animal and human. Ginger sang beautifully, spoke gently. She loved music. She was incredibly loved and is already deeply missed. She was intelligent,  irreverent, funny, and a force. Ginger was a good neighbor, a good Samaritan, a gift. If she is dancing on the head of a pin right now, of which we have little doubt, we suspect it's to Marvin Gaye.

The family intends an informal memorial service in the near future.
