Obituary published on Legacy.com by Goldfinch Funeral Home - Beach Chapel - Murrells Inlet on Dec. 24, 2025.
Georgia Xenakis McNulty passed away peacefully December 22nd, 2025,

in Wake Forest, North Carolina.

Born October 22nd,1934 to Nicholas and Virginia Xenakis in Weston, West

Virgina, Georgia grew up with her two older sisters Elsie and Betty.

Georgia was a proud graduate of Lewis County High School Class of '52!

Georgia graduated from Beauticians' school in 1953 and moved to the

Washington DC area where she met her husband Frederick (Mac) B.

McNulty who was from Boston, Mass. Georgia and Mac married on

October 30, 1955, in Weston, West Virginia. They settled in Vienna,

Virginia and were blessed with two children, Helen McNulty November 30,

1956, and Michael McNulty January 18, 1961.

Georgia was blessed with five grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Nicholas King and Alexandria King Martin are from Helen's first marriage.

Alex is married to Andrew Martin, and they are the proud parents of

Calliope Jane Martin age 3. Michaels three children from his first marriage

are Justine McNulty Fraley, Kenneth Michael McNulty, and Ryan Hazard

McNulty. Justine is married to Luke Fraley, and they are the proud parents

of Lincoln Thomas Fraley age 6, Oliver Hazard Fraley age 4, and Juniper

Aimee Fraley age 8 weeks!

Georgia spent her 20's and early 30's as a homemaker raising Helen and

Michael with her husband. She was devoted to her kids' school and sports

activities. She painted during her younger years, and all her kids and

grandchildren proudly have at least one of her originals hanging in their

homes.

Later in her 30's and until she retired at 56, Georgia worked at Giant Food

in multiple locations in Northern Virginia. She spent most of her time

working retail pharmacy and non-food items for Giant. In 1991 she and

Mac retired and moved to Surfside Beach, South Carolina.

Georgia and Mac were devoted followers of the Saint Nicholas Orthodox

Church in Surfside Beach then later in Myrtle Beach. They had many

friends through the Church who stood by Georgia and helped her through

Mac's death in October 2005. Georgia remained at the same house in

Surfside Beach until 2019. She loved her gardens and flowers surrounding

her house and she walked in their backyard pool everyday (weather

permitting!) for all her time in South Carolina.

She relocated to Raleigh, NC in 2019 to the Wakefield Gardens Senior

Living Facility which is close to her daughter Helen and her husband Norm.

Georgia spent her final years as a resident of Wakefield Gardens.

Georgia enjoyed taking care of her home as well as her gardens and

flowers. A meticulous homemaker, she could make the most of all the

living space in her homes through the years. In the Greek tradition as was

her heritage everything could fit into her house with a little love and

wonderful long-term caring.

She was a devout Greek Orthodox and practiced her faith throughout her

life. She was a student of the Church and prided herself on knowing and

sharing the teachings and dogma of the Greek Orthodox.

Georgia was loved by so many and will be missed by everyone who knew

her.

Services will be held at Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in Myrtle Beach,

SC. There will be a viewing from 1-1:30 at the Church followed by a

service from 1:30 - 2:30. A graveside service at Hillcrest in Conway, SC as

she is laid to rest next to her husband Mac.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to her beloved church where

she was raised, St Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church Clarksburg, WV
