Georgia Donnelly, 80, of Grandy, North Carolina, died peacefully in her home on January 9, 2022 after a prolonged illness which she fought with tenacity and great willpower.
In 1959, Georgia graduated from Providence, RI high school and entered the world of work. She married in 1966 and soon after became a housewife.

In 2002 she retired and moved to North Carolina where her brave personality was contagious and she was loved by everyone she knew. The simplest joys in life brought Georgia great joy. She loved visiting friends, watching the neighborhood kids play in the street, watching the birds, and reading all about the royal family.

Georgia leaves behind 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 Singlar, Polly Mills and Danny Geremia.
