Virginia "Ginger" Shirley
May 31, 1942 - Dec. 7, 2016
Willow Glen
Virginia "Ginger" R. Shirley, age 74, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 7th at her home in Willow Glen, California.
Ginger was born May 31, 1942 in Philadelphia, PA, to Joseph Robert and Helen Marie (McGraw) Rafter.
Ginger spent her formative years in Pensacola, Florida. She is a graduate of Pensacola Catholic High and West Florida University.
Ginger began selling real estate in the Santa Clara Valley in 1972 and flourished as a successful broker until her retirement from the Sereno Group at the end of 2015.
She was also an active and generous member of her local community. She donated to many causes and was very proud of her work with CASA as a child advocate.
Ginger loved to read, play bridge and could puzzle with the best of them.
Most of all, Ginger valued her time with family and friends. Whether peacefully relaxing at her condo in Maui during the holidays, sharing a meal with close friends after a long day at work or visiting with her grand children, Kyle, Quinn and Samantha, Ginger reveled in the company of others. She touched all of our lives with her loving, generous spirit and will be truly missed by all that knew her.
Ginger will join her son Bobby Ben, her mother Helen, and her father Robert in Heaven.
Ginger's beautiful life will forever be cherished by her son Derrik and his family, Kelsey Porter and their daughter Sam of Menlo Park, her son Stephen and his wife Lisa and their two children, Kyle and Quinn of San Mateo, and her daughter Stacy of Maui. Ginger's everlasting memory will remain with her sisters, Barbara Aldrich of Baton Rouge, La and Dianne Zimmer of Kenner, La.
