of Benton, AR
May 15, 1957 - November 13, 2025
Verna ''Ginger'' Hale, 68, of Benton passed away on Thursday, November 13, 2025 in Little Rock. She was born on May 15, 1957 in Dothan, Alabama to James Andrews and Verna Brannon Andrews.
Ginger loved her family deeply and found great joy in the companionship of her beloved dogs. She dedicated 25 years of service to Arkansas Hospice before recently retiring. In her quieter days, she cherished time spent caring for her dogs, watching nature from the comfort of her home and growing tomatoes each season. She treasured the daily moments spent reminiscing and visiting with her family and friends.
She is survived by her daughter, Alma ''Sissy'' Fleming and her husband, Leon; her sons, Michael Blacklock and his wife, Courtney and Robert Blacklock; numerous grandchildren and three sisters and a brother, along with their extended families.
Ginger will be forever loved and missed by all who knew her. Rest now, our mom, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and most of all, our Friend. Until we are all together again - we'll see you later.
Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 10:00 AM at McPherson Cemetery on Salt Creek Road in Benton. Visitation will be held from 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Monday, November 17, 2025 at Roller-Alcoa Funeral Home, 6700 Alcoa Road, Benton, Arkansas 72015.

Aunt Ginger was there during a particularly chaotic part of my life. She welcomed me and my mother into her home despite the inconvenience it caused, and I learned a lot from her. Despite any separations or divorces that came later, I’ve always considered her to be my aunt.
