Georganna was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Bluefield, W.Va. While at the church, she was a member of Circle 1, the Womens' Prayer Fellowship, and the World Outreach Committee. She also spent time working with the youth group and went on several mission trips with them. She was a very diligent member of the Salt & Light Sunday School class and according to other members of the class, was an excellent “servant leader”. She was a very active member of the Appalachian Artists Association, and enjoyed spending time with her artist friends and creating her beautiful paintings. For many years, she was a counselor for the ABEL Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bluefield, W.Va. Another of her many passions were working with flowers. She was a member of a garden club in Princeton and served as a Flower Show judge for many years. She was an avid supporter of the Wade Center, in Bluefield, W.Va. and the Bluefield Union Mission. Her compassion and caring has had wide-reaching effects over the course of her life. All of her works, encouragement and love, will never be recognized, quantified or even known; all pointing towards her Savior, Jesus Christ.
