Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





I served on 2 WILPf national boards with Georgia, we had some good times amid the turmoil and I valued her perspectives so much. She was a great feminist and lover of justice. We lost touch over the past few years, but I thought we would reconnect...I'm so sad that now we won't. My condolences to her family, all her WILPF and church colleagues who will miss her so much.

The members of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom send our heartfelt condolences to Georgia's family. She was an invaluable member and her presence will be missed. Her amazing ability to pull together all the branch activities for Peace & Freedom was a feat in and of itself. She was remarkable is so many ways. Peace.

Georgia was a great activist for peace and social justice issues of all kinds, especially women's rights. I appreciated her insights and knowledge. I appreciated her welcoming me into the "Raging Grannies" group, even though I've never been able to sing worth a darn. She was our fearless leader. Georgia, rest in peace, we miss you.

Georgia was our branch president when I moved to Portland and connected with WILPF. I loved working with her in carrying out the branch activities for peace, social justice, and freedom. She will be warmly remembered as an effective, imaginative, and compassionate leader of the women's peace movement. Her email messages usually ended with the words "Listen to the women for a change!"

I carpooled with her to Portland UU events.I knew her I became her friend when she was over 70.As an extreme feminist, she tolerated me more than most men. She shared her experiences of living in Kentucky in a male dominated environment.
