I have several pictures Georgia painted especially for me when she visited in Florida. I am so honored and remember her well. Such a sweet lady.

Georgia was a loving friend, a wonderful artist and a beautiful soul. It was a great experience to share time with her and make art with her.

I met Georgia in 2004 shortly after I joined the Santa Rita Art League and other groups of artists in Green Valley. We often painted together and exchanged ideas. I remember Georgia`s generous smile, her hearty laugh, and her love for hats. One of my favorite memories of Georgia is a painting of her wearing a very large red hat. I don´t recall if it was a self portrait or painted by one of her fellow artists. She often joined our Wednesday group, The Critiquers, where we drank red wine and ate dark chocolate, and, of course, critiqued each other`s weekly output. Having heard of Georgia`s passing from a mutual friend just today, we raised our glass in a farewell toast to dear Georgia. She`ll be missed by many; she`ll be missed by me. Go well, dear friend.

Words cannot begin to describe the impact that Georgia and her family had on me growing up. I am dismayed that I never got to see her 'one more time' as time and geography was always in the way. I love all of you dearly and send my love and warm hugs to each of you.

I'm Linda Selby's niece. I loved going over to Georgia's house when she lived in Kingsport. My dad insisted that I keep a picture that Georgia had given my parents at their wedding. Love to all.

Dear Anne,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful women. I saw and talked with her many times during the 1990s in Kingsport. For most of life, I've enjoyed her beautiful artwork.
With sympathy to you and your sisters.

Georgia was my beloved friend for many years. Oh, how I will miss her. I first met Georgia when she gave me art lessons here in Kingsport. She took me and my two children "under her wings" and mothered us and loved us in so many ways. She was larger than life. To her children, Anne, Becky, Lyn, and Doug, I am so sorry for the loss of your darling mother, Georgia. I know she is busy painting in heaven and being a friend to the souls in her heavenly home. May she rest in peace.
Warmest regards,
Arlene Payne
