Ginger Osborne

Virginia Louise Osborne
Ginger Welch

Ginger was welcomed into this world by Edna Mae and Denny Welch on August 11, 1963. She was the apple of her Daddy’s eye’s and the spark that lit up the light in her family’s life.  Her wonderful spirit warmed the hearts of everyone who knew her.  Her positive attitude and infectious laugh always drew people to her.  She married the love of her life, Jim Osborne on August 10, 2005.  They made a wonderful life together, and turned a house into a home filled with warmth and love where they welcomed all family and friends.  They were looking forward to adopting Jim’s two adorable Grandchildren, KayLee and Christopher McConnell.  Together they immediately bonded, and their loving home was always filled with laughter, fun and love.  Ginger was so excited;  she wanted so much to give them a stable home where they would always feel loved.  She would have made them a wonderful Mother. Ginger worked for Smith’s Food and Drug Stores for 21 years.  She left them in August to prepare for the children’s arrival so they would feel warmly welcomed and loved.  Not a day went by she did not tell them how dear they were to her and how much she loved them, and hugs were freely given.

Ginger spent most of her childhood years in the Uintah’s at the family cabin, built by her Father.  She loved the outdoors; she and her husband spent many weekends camping and fishing and just cuddling together under a blanket watching the stars next to the crackling sounds of a warm campfire.  She loved the excitement of going four wheeling.

Ginger is survived by her loving husband, Jim, KayLee and Christopher, two sisters, Laurie Lloyd, Sandi Carnicle (Michael), one brother Jeff Welch (Jolene).  Two children, Alicia and Shawn Ivie, one Grandchild, Tai Lyle.  Preceded in death by both her parents and one brother, Kirk Denn Welch.
