Kirby Pines Retirement Community | The Pinecone

The Pinecone | February 2024 • 3 • John & Ginger Blount John and Ginger Blount moved to Kirby Pines just 10 days after checking out the place, they fell in love with it instantly. John grew up in Batesville, AR, and graduated from Ouachita University. He worked in engineering and sales throughout his business career. Ginger grew up in Memphis, TN and attended the University of Memphis and worked in various fields thru the years. She was in Real Estate in the 70s and in the 80s she owned and operated a full service salon in the Atlanta area. The couple met in 1993 and felt that God had put them together and felt that when they married in 1996 their lives truly had meaning that had been void in their past. They spent a lot of time doing mission work with their church, Christ Church Bartlett campus. A variety of their ministries were working with th Help Group (the largest distributor of the Memphis Food Bank) and also planning and taking seniors on various trips. Big trips included New York City, Mt Rushmore, New Orleans, Savannah, Branson and more. In town trips were monthly adventures all over Memphis. John and Ginger love to travel and been to Israel 3 times, took an 18 day whirlwind trip to Europe, several cruises to the Caribbean, New England and Alaska. They have spent time in Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana. They have two rescue cats, Charlie and Winnie, and they make their life complete at Kirby Pines.
