Person:Georgia Shoffner (1)

OBITUARY: Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Georgia Emma Shoffner May, died February 9, 2005, at Edgewood Place following an extended illness of Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease. Born in Guilford County February 18, 1920 to John Thomas and Nora Greeson Shoffner, she was the fourth of nine children. She married Kenneth May March 27, 1937. Their house was built in 1938 and they lived in that home until she fell and broke her hip December, 2003. According to Georgia’s wishes the Reverend Dermont Reid, a special friend who took Georgia and Kenneth on many trips to pick strawberries or get apples and peaches from the orchard, will conduct the service, assisted by the Reverend Ben Bishop. She was an excellent seamstress and created many beautiful outfits for her family and friends. She also loved flowers and her garden. Her admonishment when you left their home was You’d better watch that road, the police will be looking for that kind of car. She is survived by husband, Kenneth; children, Geraldine Madison (Bob) of Columbia, S.C., Sandra Moore (Buddy) of Burlington, and Ken May, Jr.. (Kay) of Chapel Hill; grandchildren, Charles Moore, Neil Moore, Dawn Walker, Mark Madison, Stephanie Armand and Chris May; great-grandchildren, Ryan, Jordan and Max Walker, Jacob, Patrick, Beverly and Christopher Moore and Bryson May; brothers, Richard Shoffner (Mildred), Thomas Shoffner (Lorena), Leonard Shoffner (Sara Lou); sisters, Lib Staley, Swannie Johnson, Maggie Lea Coble (Paul), Mazie Coulman (George) and Osa McAdoo; sisters-in-law, Virginia May Corbett (Clyde) and Clara May; numerous nieces and nephews.
