Charlie on behalf of the SE Class of 1971, our condolences on the loss of your mother. Prayers for you and your family.
I am so grateful for every single minute I was able to share with Miss Georgia. She sponsored my scholarship application through her PEO and she became a friend that changed my life. The Joy that was added to my life as a direct result of my friendship with her is a gift that I continue to treasure every day.
Dear Charlie & Family – nothing in our adult life adequately prepares us for the death of Mother…..from our experience Will & I knew Georgia to a queen of our KG&E. social life….your pain and sorrow created by her death is deeply shared at our house. Best regards – Don & Will
Charlie, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a caring and gracious woman.. Marie Jones, former Intrust employee.
Our deepest sympathy to the Chandler family! Georgia was a lovely woman and a role model for many of us. Penny and Max Moss
I am so very sorry to hear of Georgia’s passing. She was one of the kindest, warmest, most hospitable people I have known, a truly great lady. I know she will be missed terribly by her family and friends, but her memory will always be a blessing and a gift from God.
My deepest sympathy. She must have been an amazing woman to have raised such a great family, The INTRUST family is forever grateful.
Dear Charlie and family, I am very sad to hear of the loss of your mom (and your dad). Thinking of you and sending my deepest sympathy. Although (at our age) they don’t call us orphans, it is an odd and disorienting feeling to lose your parents. It is difficult to work through all the feelings from such a loss. You never “get over it” but you do move through it. Hugs to you and yours, Leslie
To all of Georgia’s family, my sincere thoughts of your lost. Georgia was like family to me and I will always cherish the unlikely, yet deep friendship between her and Lee (my mom). She was wonderfully unique; a true positive life force.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I just found out that Georgia had passed away April 2020. My condolences to the family. I knew Georgia through her daughter Jan many decades ago. Dr. Steve Bishop
