This is an archive page from the 2018 IGGPPC Halloween Party, in which we worked together to “solve” the mystery of Counselor Ginger’s death. Please enjoy our silly shenanigans and head to geekgirlpenpals.com/halloween for info on the next event!  

Counselor Ginger**, a lover of pink praying mantises and pie (so. much. pie.), tragically passed away October 25th. Ginger was found drowned in an apparent canoeing accident (autopsy pending). She will be sadly and sorely missed by all who knew her.

Ginger was a beloved wife of Basil. They celebrated their 9th anniversary in July and were devoted to one another, supporting each other’s dreams and ambitions. Basil worshiped the ground Ginger walked on. (WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME, GINGER???)

She was heavily involved in International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club (IGGPPC) and had recently taken part in their annual summer camp. Ginger was a first-time counselor and was passionate about making sure her troop had fun. Ginger gleefully participated in the pie-eating contest and absolutely annihilated the competition. (MY GINGER, YOU ARE A LOVER OF PIE AND JUST AS SWEET! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE??)

Ginger leaves behind an adoring Camp Troop Schuyler (YOU DIDN’T EVEN GET TO ENJOY WINNING THE CAMP CUP FOR VERY LONG….WHHHHYYYYYYY!!!!); husband, Basil; twin sister, Clove; two dogs, Drake & Elena; and a cat, Parade.

Services will be held at the campground, by the lake. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local bakery or pink praying mantis rescue organization.


Oh, what’s this? I don’t know. I don’t think it was an accident though. I need you to get to the bottom of this.
