Ginger Kiselick's Obituary
Ginger Emmett Kiselick, 61, of Davidson, died June 10, 2025. She was born on May 21, 1964 in Gaston County to Kay Warren Emmett and the late Dr. Paul D. Emmett.
In addition to her mother, she is survived by her loving husband Bill Kiselick, children Maggie [husband Brendan], Mary Catherine [husband J.P.], Philip and grandchildren Baker, James, Mac, Mae. She’s also survived by her brother, Dr. Darren Emmett, and his two children Ryan [wife Charlene], Darby, and great nephews, Carson and Ozzie. She is preceded in death by her dear brother, Brad Emmett of Mount Holly, NC.
Ginger was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, aunt and friend to so many. She was a teacher, a workout enthusiast, a volunteer, and a golfer. Known to her family and friends as, “G” or “Ging” she will be remembered as a truly radiant soul whose love, laughter, and light transformed every life she touched. She had the biggest heart and that was on full display through her philanthropic efforts over the years. She volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, built weekly backpacks of food for local children in need, and hosted an annual Christmas Party where attendees would bring gifts and food for less fortunate families.
Her love for life was reflected in the little things she cherished - an early morning Burn Boot Camp workout, walks around the neighborhood with husband, Bill, and dance parties in the kitchen, gazebo and everywhere in between. Ginger had a passion for traveling the world with the love of her life – some of her happiest memories were in faraway cities with Bill and her children.
Ginger was also a dedicated educator. She received two Masters - one from UNC Charlotte and one from Belmont Abbey University. She spent her career as a middle school principal and science teacher in Lake Norman. She is remembered by her many colleagues and decades of students she touched.
Ginger had a gift for making life beautiful. Whether it was through her infectious smile, her vibrant personality, or her signature bright wardrobe, bold earrings and bright glasses or spikey hair, she radiated warmth and confidence and fun. She will be remembered for always having the brightest smile in the room.
