SOUTH CHINA – At 3:28 on April 25, 2022, surrounded by her family, one of God’s children went home to dance among the stars. Georgia A. Gunning was born on Christmas Eve 1957, a fitting date, as she was truly a gift from God to this Earth. She was born into a large family and had wonderful memories growing up with her five sisters and one brother. Shortly after high school she married the love of her life, and together they raised four wonderful children into amazing adults. Georgia always strived to do the best for everyone, and wanted to help make the world a better place, so in her thirties she returned to school and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. Between her time working for Catholic Charities Maine and Riverview, she gave selflessly of herself, working countless hours, and going above and beyond to do everything in her power to give her clients a better life, a new chance, or just a shoulder to cry on- never judging, only with love and care in her heart. Georgia’s true pride and joy were her kids. She always made sure they came first, building them up and supporting them in any path they chose in life. Her love for them was as strong and fierce as the ocean, which she also loved. Georgia’s legacy is one of love, strength, beauty and compassion that will be remembered by all who knew her.Georgia leaves behind countless loving family members, and will be greatly missed by all. She will live on in the smiles, laughter and memories of those she loved. When you feel a gentle and unexpected wind, or when the sun breaks through the clouds to kiss your cheek, be assured, that is Georgia reminding you she is still with us.A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 8, 2022 at Centerpoint Community Church, 155 W River Rd, Waterville. Condolences, memories, and photos may be shared with her family at rememberinggeorgia@yahoo.com
