Georgia Gouge Hall's Obituary
Obituary
Georgia Gouge Hall, a Mountaindale Road resident, passed away on Thursday, February 18, 2016 at the Kline Hospice House in Mount Airy, MD after a brief illness. She was 100 years old, born in Celo, Yancey County, North Carolina in 1915 to the late Martha Blalock and James Gouge. Five sisters (Susan, Mae, Cordia, Grace Marie, and Juanita) and five brothers (Thomas, Newton, Lawrence "Jack", Benjamin, and James Herman) predeceased her. Her late husband, the love of her life, George Hall passed away in 1990. They moved to Frederick in 1958 with their children and since then she called Frederick home. All nine children survive her as follows: Joyce Shealy (Craig Alderman, Jr.) of Leesburg, Virginia; James Hall (Joan) of Vancouver, Washington; George "Bud" Hall (Nell) of Clover, South Carolina; Patricia Heintzman (Tom) of West Lawn, Pennsylvania; Monty Nordin (Roy) of Fredericksburg, Virginia; Sharon Kilcrease (Tom) of Hereford, Arizona; Catherine "Kate" Truitt (Roger) of Raleigh, North Carolina; Donald "Donny" Hall (Paula) of Gaithersburg, Maryland; and Roger Hall of the home address in Frederick. She is also survived by 18 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. She is predeceased by a granddaughter, Hannah Hall and a great granddaughter, Rebecca Massey. Georgia loved her family and lately kept in touch with her dispersed family using smart phones and tablets. She was a homemaker from her late teens until her early 90s when aging and health issues forced her to pass on the responsibilities to her youngest son Roger. It was only at this time that she could sit and enjoy her bird feeders and TV westerns. She was a quilter, gardener, and always ready for an adventure from a baseball spring training visit in South Florida to an autumn ride in the beautiful Catoctin Mountains. Georgia cooked from scratch her whole life; breakfast biscuits and jam were a delicious a treat for all who came to her table, especially for her grandchildren. Also, she knew all the steps in running a tobacco farm from personal experience in the North Carolina mountains. Her hands and arms remained strong throughout her advancing years in part from the manual nature of tobacco farming. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. The family will receive any visitors starting at 1:00 pm on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at the Chapel Mausoleum of Resthaven Memorial Gardens, 9501 Catoctin Mountain Highway, Frederick, MD, 21701. The memorial service will be at 3:00 pm on the same day with interment to follow at Resthaven Memorial Gardens.
