It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Virginia (Ginger) Shaffer, our loving mother and friend to whose lives that she has touched. She left us peacefully at her residence in Victorville, California on November 4, 2019 at the young age of 63 years old. Born in Inglewood, California, Ginger was a sibling of 6 brothers and sisters. She was the daughter of beloved, Ronald and Frances Dunn (Robert Estridge). Ginger grew up in the South Bay neighborhood of Torrance, California.

Shortly after, they welcomed a son, Alex and a daughter, Tanya. A few years later, they moved on from Carson, California to East Long Beach, California.

She managed many employees and teams and always exceeded her job quotas and job expectations. Her hobbies included hand modeling as she was known for having the most beautiful long hair and stunning hands and nails. She enjoyed make-up, fashion and Gucci purses. Ginger was also a very loving and compassionate mother and friend. She always invited the neighborhood kids over for sleep overs, pool parties and was very much a part of a lot of kids’ childhoods. She was a great cook and was known for her famous fudge that most of the family cannot duplicate. Ginger loved being with family and loved family gatherings. Thanksgiving and Christmas were her favorite holidays because the holiday spirit represented the joy and love she had for her family. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
