She was my neighbor since I was only one years old. I remember gazing in awe at her amazing art that now continues to inspire me looking to become an art major. She was always there for me as I was growing up, giving gifts to my sister and I on random occasions to make us smile. When I heard about her passing it had been 3 years since I moved houses and saw her last. My heart is with her family. Her legacy truly lives on, Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mrs. Jessup. Mrs. Jessup was a remarkably talented woman. She was a gifted artist, and also a devoted mother, grandmother, mother in law ( to my sister and others), and an inspiration to many. She will leave a legacy of strength, talent, beauty, and love.

Mrs. Jessup was my Art Teacher when I was a student at Eliot Jr. High School. She was a fantastic teacher and person that made Art fascinating and fun. She was always positive, upbeat and kind. May she rest in peace.

Georgia was a fantastic, positive role model to many artists, art educators, and people in general. She was a true inspiration who will be remembered for a very long time by multiple generations of diverse audiences. I feel proud to have known her, and only wish we could have spent more time together creatively.
May you rest in peace Georgia.

Oh, what a wonderful picture. I feel truly blessed to have been welcomed into her family and world for awhile. Some of her art works are in my mind forever as is the love I feel in my soul.
