Her life reflected a steadfast commitment to God and family, leaving a legacy of faith, service, wisdom, dependability, and unconditional love. Georgia was born in Potecasi, North Carolina, to Ruth Estelle Futrell Moore and Jessie Thomas Moore, Sr. Georgia, the eldest of their six children, was miraculously born at home, weighing 1.5 lbs. Georgia was affectionately called “Sister Girl” and was raised with strong Christian, family, and academic values that guided her throughout her life. She was baptized at a young age at the Potecasi Baptist Church, where her familywere faithful members. Georgia graduated from Creecy High School and married Mr. Lorenzo Mitchell, and together they had 3 children.

She also attended Norfolk State University, where she studied Social Work. She also graduated from the Peninsula Business School in Newport News, where she completed her certification in Administrative Studies. Georgia was also a member of the Eastern Star. Georgia remained devoted to the Lord throughout her life. She found comfort and strength in God’s Holy Word and was known for her daily prayers on behalf of her family and loved ones. Her children would often hear her praying for family members by name and remember that she often fell asleep with her Bible resting on her chest. At Zion, she served on the New Members Committee. Georgia remained proud of her church home wherever life took her and later enjoyed worshipping God with her children or watching church on TV. Georgia was also a senior member of the Women of Virtue Sunday Prayer Group, where she reminded the women to obey God, repent of sins, & do not doubt God in their hearts.

She was also the widow of Mr. Beatty, affectionately called “Gene.” Georgia was also quiet, yet firm and strong, and a caregiver and loving, dependable presence in the lives of her sibling, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She cherished time with family and offered each a steady source of love, wisdom, encouragement, and prayer. Her home was “spotless” and a place of warmth and comfort, filled with home-cooked meals and the reassurance of her love. Family and friends will also remember Georgia as a beautiful, fashionable woman who loved shopping. Georgia was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Jesse, affectionately called (Brother), and M. J. Moore. She leaves to cherish her memory their three children; eight grandchildren, including Toni, whom Georgia loved like a daughter; 10 greatgrandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren; and her siblings: Ruth Jackson of CA; Barbara Delifus (Joseph) of GA; and George Moore of VA; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends. Georgia’s faith, kindness, loyalty, and enduring love will continue to live on in the lives of her children and the many family members she touched along the way and in the generations who follow her from glory to glory in Jesus’ Holy name!
