GEORGIA OVERTON Obituary

Georgia Wallace Porter Overton. Gone to heaven much too soon, Georgia died on August 20 in a car accident in Mississippi. She was born in Memphis on January 23, 2006, and moved to Denver when she was 5. Georgia was nicknamed GoGo before she was born because she was such an active girl. She lived up to that name in her nine years of life, always on the move and ready to take on new challenges. An insatiable learner, she approached everything with great gusto and authority. On any given summer day, you would find her in the pool for hours on end. She loved to ride her scooter around Observatory Park. Georgia was so capable and wise way beyond her years. She made friends everywhere she went, including her school days at Grace St Luke’s in Memphis and UPark in Denver. She had an amazing fashion sense for a 9 year old, and could spot a designer knockoff from across the room. She used her sense of style to transform her gracious Daddy’s hair and toenails more than a few times. For Georgia, life was literally a dance and you saw it in her every step. Her infectious smile and giggles will live forever in her family’s heart. Georgia is survived by her father William, brother Will, her aunts Lindsay Overton, Kendall Overton, and Tracy Kerr, cousins Andrew and Julia Kerr, uncles Gary Kerr and John Porter, and an extensive Porter family in Arkansas, including her grandmother Sharon Porter.

Georgia was a brilliant child who brought so much joy to everyone she met. I will long remember her infectious smile, her kindness and her love for life. She was among my top library workers in my final year at UPark. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet her and work with her. Knowing her was a blessing. I wish peace upon her family and friends. I wish there were more than words I could give to everyone struggling to understand how such a beautiful person could be taken away from us so soon.

William and Will, there are no words I can offer to make this pain go away, although I pray knowing how very very loved you are and knowing how many people are lifting you up in prayer every second of each passing day will begin to bring you some comfort as you begin to heal. I love you both so much, and am here any time. Day or night. You are two amazing men and Georgia was such an incredible young lady. Her spirit will live on with you both. Love and prayers my dear friend. Love you. Paige

Georgia was really a joyful, kind and respectful friend to the kids at Upark. My son enjoyed having her as a pal and was looking forward to having her in his 4th grade class. Spunky is a great word to describe the Georgia I saw having fun on the playground and enjoying field trips with her classmates. I am so sorry for the loss of such a lovely child.

I remember Georgia's spunky personality and infectious smile. She was one of my daughters favorite friends. She was mentioned daily in conversation with loving affection. She will be missed.
