The LWV-Worcester Area mourns the loss of our champion, and friend, Ginger Navickas, who passed away on Tuesday, July 6, 2022. Ginger was instrumental in revitalizing the LWV chapter in Worcester. With unparalleled energy and commitment, she recruited board and general members—always guided by equity and inclusion goals; led efforts to register voters; developed educational programs; and mentored, coached, encouraged, and celebrated everyone involved. Whenever there was a committee or leadership vacancy, Ginger stepped in. Ginger also served on the statewide board of LWV-Massachusetts. She did not seek the spotlight; she was driven by her deep belief in democracy and community.
The League of Women Voters is just one of many organizations that benefited from Ginger’s professional and volunteer involvement. We will remain inspired by her strength and grateful for her extraordinary contributions.
A celebration of Ginger’s life will take place on Thursday, July 14 at 1 pm at the First Unitarian Church, 90 Main Street, Worcester, MA. Her obituary can be viewed here: https://www.telegram.com/obituaries/pneo0248643
