She was married to the love of her life William Robert "Bill" Brashear of Aransas Pass, Texas (formerly of Wichita Falls, Texas). Their love for each other will always be an example to her family and many friends.

Ginger was born and lived half of her life in Wichita Falls, Texas until she and Bill moved to Aransas Pass in 1979 which she quickly embraced as her hometown for almost 40 years.

Mrs. Brashear was a loyal, dedicated employee of Commercial Motors Company in Aransas Pass for more than 30 years. Her fellow employees were considered her extended family.
