Ginger Beatty

Ginger Frances Anderson Beatty, age 76, of Worthington, Indiana, passed away on September 9, 2026, at Glenburn Senior Living in Linton, Indiana, following a lengthy illness. Born Virginia Frances Anderson in Harrison County, Kentucky, and raised in Cynthiana, Kentucky, she was known throughout her life as Ginger. She was the daughter of Clarence Edward Anderson and Mary Lena Hutchison Anderson. She graduated from Harrison County High School with honors and later attended Southeastern Christian College in Winchester, Kentucky. Ginger worked for many years as a dental assistant for Dr. Larry Kuhlenschmidt in Lyons, Indiana. She was a faithful Christian and attended Lincoln Christian Church of Jasonville, where she helped with church newsletters and contributed to the church cookbook. A favorite family story began years before her marriage to David. While working as a dental assistant, Ginger cleaned the teeth of a patient named David Beatty. Neither could have imagined that years later they would be introduced by mutual friends at a Valentine's dinner at Lincoln Christian Church. What began as a blind date became a lasting love story, and they were married on June 9, 1994, at Lincoln Christian Church. Together they shared 32 years of faith, family, friendship, and adventure. Family was at the center of Ginger's life. She loved gathering people together, sharing stories, saving photographs, and making memories with her children and grandchildren. Together, Ginger and David enjoyed traveling, RV adventures, timeshare vacations, and special trips with dear friends Larry and Rosie Gradl of Wisconsin. Taking their grandchildren along on many of those adventures was one of their greatest joys. She is survived by her husband, David Phillip Beatty; her daughter, Stephanie Ann Fields Carson (Eric James Carson); her son, Jonathan Edward Fields (Rachel Miron Fields); her grandchildren, Rachel Ann Carson, Tyler James Carson, Hannah Rose Fields, Emma Wright Fields, and Grace Lillian Fields; her stepchildren, Michael Beatty (Melissa Beatty) and Michelle "Miki" Beatty Burris (Paul "Sonny" Burris); her step-grandchildren, Danielle Burris, Kyle Burris, Matthew Beatty, Mitchell Beatty, and Mark Beatty; her step-great-grandchildren, Kayden and Magnolia (mother, Danielle) and Amelia (father, Kyle); her nieces and nephews, Laura Burns Huesman (Richard), Andrew Burns (Kennon), Jason McNeil (Kerri), Ashley McNeil Lewis (Michael), and Leslie McNeil Pasley (Alvin); and her beloved dog, Jill. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence Edward Anderson and Mary Lena Hutchison Anderson; her sisters, Janet Lee Anderson Burns and Linda Clarice Anderson McNeil; and her niece, Whitney McNeil. Ginger will be remembered for her faith, her kindness, her love of family, and her gift for bringing people together. The photographs she saved, the stories she shared, and the memories she created will continue to be treasured by those who loved her.Funeral service will be held at Welch & Cornett Funeral Home in Worthington on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 11:00 AM with Pastor Cliff Gano officiating.
