NELL WINDHAM GEORGE

Nell Windham George, 80, passed away peacefully on Thurs., Sept. 13, 2012, at her home in Vidalia, Ga., in the company of the family she loved so well.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m., Sun., Sept. 16, at Ronald V. Hall Funeral Home Chapel in Vidalia, Ga., with burial to follow in Pinecrest Cemetery.

A native of Andalusia and a graduate of Andalusia High School, she was a kind and caring friend to everyone she met. She was the youngest of six, including a sister, plus four brothers, who each served in the United States military overseas during World War II.

Her mother died when she was 6, leaving her and her siblings in the care of four beloved aunts who pooled their resources and their energies to fill that role. That example of sacrifice and dedication to family consistently guided Mrs. George’s actions thereafter.

She is survived by her husband of 58 years, William H. George of Vidalia, Ga.; children Judy Pait (Michael) and William David George (Susan) of West Palm Beach, Fla.; grandchildren, Rebecca Snyder (David) and Christopher Pait of West Palm Beach, Fla., Amanda George of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Anne George of West Palm Beach, Fla.; great-grandson Oliver Michael Snyder of West Palm Beach, Fla., and brother, Roy Windham of Andalusia; and a large number of cousins, nephews and nieces.

The couple raised their family primarily in West Palm Beach, Fla., where they were charter members of Belvedere Baptist Church in 1960. She taught Sunday school there and later at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Vidalia, Ga., where she was a member of the Busy Bee Sunday school class after a work transfer with AT&T returned them to Georgia in 1978.

She was a glowing example of Christian love to her two children and shared with them the promised rewards of lasting faith that today she is enjoying herself in heaven.

She was a beautiful and creative writer, as anyone who received one of her expressive and entertaining letters will attest. She also took up oil painting later in life and produced personalized and professional-quality works as keepsakes for her four grandchildren.

No one has ever had a greater appreciation for the mysteries and the wonders of God’s creation. She faced her challenges with unflagging strength and good humor. Her agile mind was always busy, allowing her to burn through crossword puzzles and compose heartfelt letters of appreciation to dear friends until her final days.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Community Hospice Foundation, P.O. Box 2277, Vidalia, GA 30475.
