Virginia “Ginger” Beal Steege was a caring mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She left to be with her heavenly father suddenly on August 27th, 2024 at age 74. Ginger had the biggest heart and was always willing to give and help where she saw she could, even if it was just a listening ear or to offer the shirt off her back. She always had a passion for education, earning her Master’s degree before going on to sharing her knowledge with thousands of students over the years. She was a talented artist and enjoyed painting, drawing and playing the piano. Ginger was an avid gamer and could knock the socks off of anyone with trivia games. She accumulated many friends with her outgoing personality, not only in person but also online through gaming communities. She was a fighter through and through, always smiling through the sunshine and the rain. Ginger is survived by her daughters, Jennifer and Rebecca; her granddaughter, Emma; and her sisters,Kathy and Maggie. A celebration of life will be held on September 7th, 2024 from 1pm – 5pm at the Holiday Inn Express located at 201 HWY 287 N, Mansfield, TX 76063. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local animal shelter, as she was passionate about the welfare and caring of all animals whether in her home or not.

I’d never met Virginia in person, but I had the pleasure of working with her daughter Jennifer. I was playing Word Chums with her and boy howdy could she play! Virginia would leave me silly memes on FB, and she was also in love with her cats & dogs! I’m going to miss her terribly. Rest in peace, Virginia
Ginny, it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I can’t believe that I won’t get another text message from you or face time with you. I hope I made you as happy as you did me. I’ll never ever forget you.
Take care of Milo till I get there.
I love you my friend

I’m so sorry for this loss to her friends and family. I remember her as very bright and cheerful. A friend to all.💔❤️🩹
I went to school with Ginger from Kindergarten through 12 grade and remember her well. She was always a sweet, kind soul…..
We started out friendship in bluebirds in elementary school and continued from there. We picked up somewhere along the way on facebook. I’m so sad to day good bye. We will be thinking of you at the 56th gathering of the class of 1968 of Lakeland Senior High School.
Love, Carolyn Mitchell Radkins

We lived next door to Ginger on Chester Drive. We would play outside a lot until we moved at age 10. Kathy was my older brothers age group. I loved reading about what wonderful family, fun and connections she had. Warm hugs.
