Throughout their 61 years of married life, in all the moves they made, Lowell and Georgia were involved in the local church. They were baptized by Lawerence Hoptry at Kingwood Baptist Church and were members of St. Marys Baptist and currently members of South Parkersburg Baptist Church. At each of these churches, Georgia served in many capacities-Deaconess, Choir, Bible School Director, etc.; but her heart was in the service to the American Baptist Women’s Ministry. She held offices on the local associations and state boards. She made many lasting friends through the ministry. Georgia wishes to thank her family and friends for their love and prayers. A special thank you to Dr. Heather Straight, Dr. Osman, and all the nurses and technicians at UHC for their kindness. May God Bless each one of you.
