| Mountain View Funeral Home & Cemetery, Mesa, Arizona Ginger Haycock June 22, 1926 – March 29, 2022 The world lost Frances Virginia Grice Haycock the evening of March 29, 2022. Born June 22, 1926, she quickly became known as Ginger because her spicy nature was evident to all from an early age. Often playing surrogate mother to her brothers Charles (1927-1951) and Billy (1930 – 1969) Ginger learned independence quickly and thoroughly in her youth in Florida and Georgia. She brought her distinctive Southern flavor with her when she migrated to the California where she met the love of her life Delmar Dean Haycock (8 Aug. 1913 – 18 Oct. 1992). Ginger was Dean’s Ginger Snap (Dean often called her ‘Cookie’), and they loved each other fiercely until the day he died. That love bore two children: Sharon Elaine (‘Elaine’) Haycock Proffitt Herrick (27 Jan. 1947) and Robert Dean Haycock. Ginger lived a full life with many interesting stories and cherished relationships, but she took the most pride in her legacy.
