Our neighbor Georgia Lumpkin died peacefully this past week, aged 101, just two years after her husband Ted passed away. Georgia and Ted moved to the Village Green in 2001; after Ted passed, Georgia was the Village Green’s oldest resident.
We will miss her tremendously. If you did not know this lady, you missed an experience that you will never capture with any other human being in life. If you ever visited Georgia on her wonderful patio garden, she would give you a lesson on plants, their life and how to care for all the wonderful things she grew. She often extended that knowledge to area schools and students; very few people could match her knowledge of plants and trees—those trees, and all the greenery on the property, were part of the reason she loved living here at the Village Green.
So long Georgia, you can never be replaced!
