Ginger King, age 52, passed away unexpectedly at UT Medical Center on November 1, 2026.

Ginger was a kindhearted woman who never met a stranger. She had a love for helping others and spent much of her time volunteering at community help centers. She also enjoyed working outdoors, camping, and fishing. Her friendly spirit, generous heart, and love for those around her will forever be remembered.

Ginger is survived by her husband, Zachary King; her children, Randy Martin, Christopher Winkler, and Kimberly Smallwood and her husband, Micheal; her sisters, Vicki Hall, Melissa Hughes, and Dawn Hambelton; her brother and sister-in-law, Mark and Wanda Martin; and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Danielle and Brandon Reno. She also leaves behind 11 grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews who will cherish her memory.

In keeping with her giving spirit, Ginger was an organ donor. Even in her passing, she has given the extraordinary gift of life to others. Her family is incredibly proud of this selfless gift and the lives she will continue to touch.

Ginger will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, but her kindness, generosity, and the lives she has touched will never be forgotten.

Companion Funeral & Cremation Service of Athens, TN is honored to be entrusted with assisting the family during this difficult time.
