Born on March 31, 1949, in Sudbury, Massachusetts, Stella was the daughter of the late William Foster and Ruth Foster. Throughout her life, Ginger balanced the demands of work and family with grace and determination. Over the years, she enjoyed several careers, including working as a hair stylist, school bus driver, and florist. She ultimately retired after many dedicated years with McDonald's, where she formed lasting friendships and took pride in her work.

Above all, Ginger devoted her life to her family and found her greatest joy in being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was known for her kindness, strength, and caring nature and treasured every moment spent with those she loved.

Her love, generosity, and unwavering devotion to her family will be remembered always by those who knew and loved her.

A private service will be held for immediate family members. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England, in memory of

Stella L. Balducci "Ginger".
