ZUSTOVICH--Georgiana. Georgiana Hedges Zustovich, age 80 of Houston, TX passed away on January 9, 2022 after a severe illness. She was born September 24, 1941 in the Bronx to Ira and Betty Hedges. She is survived by her son Peter Hedges, daughter-in-law Ashley (Brockette) and granddaughter Elizabeth Hazel. Georgiana was raised in Rockland County and came to Manhattan at 18 where she graduated from Hunter College and met her husband Alfred. Upon relocating to Houston she continued to work in social service and advocate for justice, earning her MSW from UH. She and Al mentored local youth, returned often to New York and traveled to Europe and the Holy Land. After 53 years together she mourned Al's passing in 2019 but rejoiced in the arrival of Elizabeth in 2021. Georgiana was grace personified, a constant friend whose steady reserve belied an arch wit and keen mind. She inspired and reciprocated the love and loyalty of a legion of friends and family. A live-streamed memorial service is set for 1pm-CST, Friday, January 21, at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church, Houston. Visit: DettlingFuneral.com to leave condolences. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Spring Branch Education Foundation.
