Shawn and Laura,
Just learned of your dear Mom's passing this morning. Presently I am in Wisconsin for an annual meeting and retreat. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to both of you and to your children! So sorry to miss Georgie's send-off at St. Nicholas Church this morning. As you know, Georgie has been a very dear friend of mine for many years. May she rest in God's peace! Zanesville will not be the same for me without her presence.

To Shawn and Laura,

I am so sorry to hear of Georgie's passing. She worked with my dad Bill when he was in the Rosecrans Athletics Boosters and then when I worked with the same boosters some 25 years after.

For the Rosecrans extended families with illnesses, Georgie continued sending greeting cards from the Rosecrans Boosters until she became to ill to do it.

Georgie had a heart of gold!!!!! May God bless you and keep you.

With love,
Steve Moyer

Laura and Shawn, please accept our deepest sympathy on Georgie's passing. When we lived in Zanesville she was one of the first people to extend her hand in friendship. She always was gracious to us and our son Mark and remained a good friend even after we moved back to Illinois. I received a birthday card from her every year because your dad and I shared a birthdate. I will miss that. You were both her greatest treasures and she loved you both and her grandkids. We are better people for having her as our friend.

Laura, Shawn , Franny,

My condolences to you, your families and extended families.
I have treasured memories of weekends Georgie, Franny and I traveled to listen to the Four Saints...so many good times, so many laughs.
Georgie was a very special lady...so proud of her children, a tireless worker for her special interests and always a friend. She will be missed.
Thoughts and prayers

Georgie and I were friends for many years. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Although we kept in touch occasionally, I haven't seen her in several years. May she rest in peace.

Dear Shawn & Laura (cousins),
Thinking of you and sending my love. Your mom will be missed. She always had a funny comment to make, or a big throaty laugh to share with others in response to a joke or funny story. She was a loving, warm, and fun person and I have so many wonderful memories of her over the years and the time our families used to spend together.
I will always remember how beautiful her cakes were. I have a picture of me from my 16th birthday, holding up a fabulous cake that your mom made & I'm smiling so much I thought my face was going to crack!
Also fondly remember her giving me my very own bottle of "Wicked Wahini" perfume, direct from Hawaii. I had always told her how much I loved that scent when she wore it, and this was back in the day before you could buy everything online. She bought it for me the next time she traveled to Hawaii and brought it all the way home to Ohio as a gift. That was so sweet and thoughtful and I have always remembered her generosity and kindness.
I'll be thinking of you during this difficult time and sending you my sympathy and love.

Dear Robinson family,

My condolences to all of you on Georgie's passing. She was a wonderful lady.

Georgie was very important to our family. She was the longest-serving secretary my father had and he truly appreciated her excellent work and dedication to the firm. (She and dad never hesitated to sling a joke or comment to each other--but always in good humor.)

Always gracious and kind, my sister, brother and I enjoyed Georgia's company often when we were young. I still have the pink rosary she gave me for my First Communion.

Mother and dad were very happy for Georgie when she married and had a family.

Over the years I had the pleasure of seeing Georgia a few times when I returned to Zanesville and took mother to church. She and mother saw each other at Mass and stayed in touch. Mother thought so much of Georgia and appreciated her contribution to dad's work and to our family.

Georgia was a blessing to the whole community and definitely a blessing in our lives.

Georgie and I were good friends in the late 50's when we both worked in the Masonic Temple. We had such good times together and went to several events where I learned to enjoy fantastic food fixed by her family members. We stayed friends even after my family moved to Albuquerque and beyond. My sympathies to Frannie and Georgie's family. Georgie was a good friend.

July 11, 2016

Remember her when I was growing up as we both lived on Locust Ave...and went to same schools. Sending the family all the love and support needed during their time of loss. May she rest in peace.

Dear Robinson family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your mother and your mother's family. Georgie worked with my mother at Graham and Graham's. When your mother's family had the store I have many stories from your mother. I know this the time to reflect on the good times, like I am sure that is what your mother would want. God Bless and let God wrap his arms around you and ease the pain. Kim Close-Hittle

Georgia was always a bright spot in any day that I encountered her as she went about her duties. She will be missed by her many friends in the legal profession.

I saw Georgia at the Oaks recently while visiting another friend, and she seemed so good that I thought she must be there only for therapy. I was shocked to see the notice today. We were at Rosecrans at the same time, different years. My sympathy to the family.

Shawn and Laura,
My deepest sympathy to you. You know I loved your mom and dad! There are so many memories that our families shared, and we had so much fun over the years. I will always think of Georgie with a smile in my heart.
To think, Jack and Georgie trusted me to watch you two babies, so they must've been a great judge of character . Do you know that your dad always called me Kate? He said it was what I looked like to him. Georgie thought this was eye rolling funny. Plus they knew you'd get fed well while they were gone!
I imagine the greeting committee for Georgie was one heck of a party! Probably all dancing the dubkee right now!
Love you two.
