Georgia Donnelly – OBX as we speak

In 1959, Georgia graduated from high school in Providence, RI and entered the workforce. She married in 1966 and soon became a housewife. Georgia later re-entered the labor market and was employed by Amica Insurance and Benny’s Retail Store. In 2002, she retired and moved to North Carolina, where her spunky personality was contagious and she was loved by everyone who knew her. Life’s simplest pleasures brought great joy to Georgia. She loved visiting friends, watching the neighborhood kids play in the street, watching the birds and reading all about the royal family.

Georgia is the daughter of the late Rena and James Maguire and her son Christopher Donnelly preceded her in death. Georgia is survived by her daughter Heather (Donnelly) Morrison and son-in-law Stephen; two grandchildren, Brittany (Morrison) Morgan and her husband Brendan, Stephen Morrison Jr.; and her closest friends Melody Singlelar, Polly Mills and Danny Geremia.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on January 15, 2022 at the Gallop Memorial Chapel in Barco, North Carolina. In lieu of flowers, donations commemorating Georgia to the Albemarle Commission Home Delivery would be greatly appreciated with “Currituck” on the note line, 512 S. Church Street Hertford, NC 27944.
