Virginia “Ginger” Louise Eastman, 84, of Milltown, Wisconsin, passed away, surrounded by loved ones, on Feb. 10, 2024.
Ginger was born on April 15, 1939, being the youngest daughter of three to Virgil and Elizabeth Reige in St. Paul, Minnesota.
On July 1, 1955, Ginger married the love of her life, Robert Eastman. They shared 62 beautiful years of marriage and three sons, Robert, Anthony and Timothy. Ginger dedicated her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Ginger loved watching her boys play hockey as her husband coached their teams. When the Eastman family wasn’t at the rink, you could find Ginger and her boys spending their summers fishing at their cabin, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
After raising her family, Ginger decided to go back to school to obtain her cosmetology license where she was able to form long-lasting friendships over the years. She loved cooking, entertaining and telling a joke or two. Upon their move to Wisconsin, Bob and Ginger liked to spend most Sundays cheering on the Packers together. Ginger was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her wit and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
Virginia was preceded in death by her father and mother; sister, Francis; and her husband, Robert.
She is survived by children, Robert (Julie) Eastman, Tony (Dana) Eastman and Tim (Connie) Eastman; grandchildren, Jamie Eastman, Jessica (JJ) Freels, Erin Eastman and Laura (Jeff) Sargeant; great-grandchildren, Joey and Jenica Wilczek, Mya Freels, Henry and Timothy Sargeant; sister, Sylvia (Mike) Kelly; and many cousins and dear friends.
