Georgette Jones Obituary
Georgette Maria Jones, fondly known as Gee, passed away from heart failure on August 31. Gee was an adventurer, travelled the world, loved meeting new people, trying new cuisines, exploring the history and architecture of a country. Her father was an executive with Bata Shoes and was transferred from Prague to Jamaica where she was born. She later relocated to London attending secretarial school, and began working at Covent Garden Royal Opera House honing a profession that she loved and exemplified. Later moving to Toronto, she worked at Queens Park in the Ministry of Education spearheaded at that time by Dr. Bette Stephenson, then to the Ontario Court House in Toronto as a Judge's assistant. Her journey in life captured many interesting stints from running a hobby farm, moving to Victoria then Vancouver, working at the Parks Board in Stanley Park and volunteering at the Vancouver Symphony. Her friends knew not to call her while Wimbledon was on! She loved life, her circle of friends, opera and classical music. Her later years found her in Tsawwassen, BC, impatiently waiting out the pandemic with the hope to begin her travel plans again. Gee represented grace and dignity and was a true renaissance woman of her time! She will be dearly missed. Donations to the Vancouver Symphony welcome.

I first met Georgette in Victoria and later when she was living in Vancouver in the West End. She was a great hostess and cook, and an elegant lady with beautiful taste. She was a world traveler and very interesting to talk to. My condolences to her family and friends.

She was our wonderful patient at the dental office for more that 24 years...I always loved hearing about her travels and enjoyed the small talk. She will be missed dearly.
