OBITUARIES Story last updated at 9:55 p.m. on Friday, June 23, 2000 Dr. George A. Sanborn Athens Dr. Sanborn, 70, of 210 Riverview Road, Athens, passed away from heart failure in the emergency room of St. Mary's Hospital very early Thursday morning. A retired professor of business management and speech communication and a published author in his field, he taught at a number of distinguished institutions, including the University of Virginia, Northwestern University, and for a number of years, at the University of Georgia. He received his B.A. from U.C.L.A., his M.A. from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from Purdue University. He also served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. Dr. Sanborn's parents were Col. Hal C. Sanborn and Mrs. Ladya J. Sanborn (stepmother), late of Santa Monica California, and Mrs. Ann F. Gray, late of Athens. He is survived by his daughter, Diane S. Calloway, and son-in-law, George C. Calloway, of Atlanta; his sister, Sister Barbara Mary Sanborn, of Tsu, Japan; and his special friend, Doris N. Sanborn, of Athens. Funeral arrangements are through Lord & Stephens, Lexington Road. There will be a memorial mass on Sunday, June 25, 2000 at 3:00 p.m. at the St. Mary's Hospital Convent Chapel off of Baxter Street in Athens. (The Convent Chapel is behind the main hospital building, as opposed to the small chapel actually within the hospital itself.) There will be no visitation hours prior to the mass, but friends are warmly invited to join the family afterward at his home for a celebration of his life. If anyone is thinking about a memorial tribute, he was always a real animal lover. He would no doubt have been delighted if a donation was made in his honor to The Athens Area Humane Society.
