I was one of S. Georgianna’s later students. She was one of my favorite instructors and one of my favorite people of all time. She was a wonderful person, always had a positive attitude and smile on her face, and was outstanding in her profession (obviously!). Some days, we weren’t sure whether she was American or French, she was so familiar with the language and culture of France.
Many also know that for years Sister taught the children French in a corner room in Foley Hall on Saturday mornings. That was in addition to her planting trees whenever she could.
God rest her soul!
I coordinated the knighting ceremony and dinner as Director of Information Services at SMWC yielding to Sister’s desire for simplicity.
I worked closely with the Charge is d’Affaires of the French government to follow protocol.
Our 3year old daughter Megan delighted Sister with a ti I’d “bon jour”.
Georgiana’s Tree Club was a happy concept…some of her trees she called by name.
Dear sweet Sister Georgiana was my Aunt. She was 18 when she left for the convent and Dad was 3 weeks old. We grew up on weekends at SMWC. She was such a loving person and we were all blessed to be in her presence! Love and miss you Auntie ❤️
