Virginia (Ginger) Gail Salway passed away unexpectedly on Saturday June 28, 2025, at her home in Villisca, IA. She was born on September 2, 1961, in Wichita, KS. She lived most of her adult life in Villisca.

If you knew Ginger you knew the love she had for others, she would have given you her last dollar or the shirt of her back if you needed it. She had a heart as big as the universe. She had a love for animals she had been that way since she was a child. If there was a stray cat hanging around, she fed it, if you had a cat that needed a home, she would take it in. She always wanted to open up a home for all the animals that didn't have a home.
She is preceded in death by her parents Kenneth & Ruth Walker, husband Jeff Salway, sister Janeen Trujillo; stepbrother Roger Meyer and mother-in-law Evelyn Salway.

She will be missed by many, but know she is having the time of her heavenly life reunited with her loved ones that have passed before her and all the cats in heaven.
