Born May 1, 1953, in Washington, D.C., Cameron was the daughter of Walter and Vee Shipe. Raised in Potomac, Maryland, she graduated from Winston Churchill High School before earning her degree from Sweet Briar College. Those early experiences helped shape the determination, integrity and leadership qualities that would define her professional and personal life.

As CEO of Cameron Group, Cameron successfully led the family-owned company into its third generation, strengthening and expanding a business founded by her grandfather more than a century ago. Under her leadership, the company earned recognition among the Baltimore region's fastest-growing businesses and was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. Cameron Group has also been recognized as a Walls & Ceilings Top 25 Insulation Contractor, reflecting its longstanding commitment to excellence in the insulation market.

In an industry traditionally dominated by men, Cameron built a reputation based on hard work, business acumen and unwavering professionalism. Her influence extended well beyond her own company through significant leadership roles in national industry organizations.

Cameron made history as the first woman to serve as president of the Insulation Contractors Association of America. She also served as secretary of the ICAA Board of Directors and was honored with the association's highest recognition at the time, the Key Man Award, for her exceptional service and leadership.

She was also instrumental in the creation and growth of Insulate America. Since its founding in 2000, Cameron served as secretary of the Board of Directors and remained one of the organization's most dedicated supporters, helping strengthen opportunities for independent insulation contractors across North America.

Known for her thoughtful leadership and long-term vision, Cameron often reminded colleagues, "We are doing this for a generation of people we may never meet, so we have to get it right." The sentiment reflected her commitment to building strong businesses, investing in people and creating opportunities for future generations.

While her professional accomplishments were substantial, those closest to her say her greatest pride was her family. Cameron was a devoted mother and grandmother who treasured time with her loved ones and celebrated their achievements with the same enthusiasm she brought to her professional endeavors.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Vee Shipe, and her brother-in-law, Reuben Brown.

She is survived by her sons, Scott Cameron and his partner, Sarah, and Andrew Cameron; grandchildren Anna Cameron, Colton Cameron and Kenzie Cameron; sisters Jan Brown and Linda Leasor; brother-in-law Gary Leasor; nephew Chris Leasor, his wife Erica and their family; niece Katie Leasor-Erwin and her husband Chris; along with numerous extended family members, friends, colleagues, employees, industry partners and mentees.

“Few individuals leave a legacy that spans family, business, and an entire industry. Ginny Cameron did exactly that,” said Michael Kwart, executive director of the ICAA. “Her influence can be seen in the success of the company she led, the organizations she helped build, the people she mentored, and the family she cherished. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever honored by all who had the privilege of knowing her.”

Cameron's impact will be felt throughout the insulation industry for generations to come. Her legacy lives on through her family, her company and the many professionals whose lives she touched through her leadership, mentorship and friendship.
