Esther Virginia "Ginger" Williams, 90, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away peacefully on December 12, 2024. Born on a warm summer day in Vienna, Virginia, Ginger, as she was lovingly known to family and friends, lived a life marked by adventure, warmth, and unwavering strength of character.

Throughout her remarkable 90 years, Ginger's passion for travel took her to countless destinations, each journey adding new stories to her rich tapestry of experiences. Her wanderlust was matched only by her gift for hospitality; she was renowned for hosting intimate gatherings where her genuine warmth made every guest feel like family. These small, carefully curated parties became legendary among friends and loved ones, who knew that an invitation to Ginger's home meant an evening of heartfelt conversation, laughter, and her signature personal touch.
