SHELBURNE – Georgia Myer, age 72, a fierce, fearless and independent soul, finally found freedom from Alzheimer’s as she passed away on Thursday, Feb. 5, at the Arbors Memory Care facility in Shelburne. She was born in New York City and was raised between San Francisco, Calif. and Princeton, N.J. She graduated from Bennington College where she not only earned her BFA but also fell in love with Vermont, residing there for the past 35 years.
Artist, kayaker, accountant, writer, scuba diver: Georgia had many talents. Acerbic at times, she was a person with a big heart and a wicked sense of humor. She will be missed by her sisters Ginny Kester (Greg) and Jody Myer – Lynch (Tom Lynch), and many beloved nephews, nieces, great-nieces and -nephew, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sam and Fefa Myer, and her husband Patrick Farmer.
Georgia was a big personality who made the world more exciting. We take solace in knowing that she will once again know no boundaries. We would like to thank the staff at the Arbors for their wonderful care and compassion for Georgia for the past two years. If one would like to honor Georgia, the family asks to please remember her through a charitable contribution to the arts or Alzheimer’s research. There will be a private celebration of life.
