Ginger attended Sacred Heart Elementary and High School, graduating in 1959.
Ginger married Joseph Lee Weiss, Jr on February 24, 1962 at Sacred Heart Church in Miles City. They had three children Julie Catherine, Jill Ann, and Brian Joseph. They left Miles City in 1966, lived for a time in Salt Lake City, UT and then moved to Great Falls in 1967, where they’ve made their home since.
Ginger loved to visit, she could always tell a good story, and she especially liked to laugh. She enjoyed spending time with her family and extended family. Ginger was a good cook and hosted many holiday gatherings. Music was always an important part of her life, whether it was singing with her siblings for family occasions, with the Holy Spirt Church choir, or as a founding member of the Great Falls Chapter of Sweet Adelines.
She and Joe spent many summers fishing and camping with family on the Madison River. They traveled around the country in their RV, spending part of each year in Arizona and California.
Ginger is survived by her husband Joe, children: Julie (Andy) Younggren, Jill Boettcher, and Brian Weiss.

Her brother Terry (Myra) Annalora and sister, Lindy Annalora, one aunt Louise Annalora, and many cousins.

Dear, dear, dear friend. What a hole there is in my heart now. Thanks, though for all the good memories and you and Joe and family fought the good fight against cancer twice until it was time to let go.
