Georgia passed away Oct. 3, 2002. She was 82.

Georgia was born to James and Gertrude Hefner Reynolds on April 20, 1920 in 
Manhattan, Mont. 

She was reared and educated in Manhattan and after graduating from Manhattan 
High School, met and married Willie Berry. 

The couple soon moved to a farm in Vinita and became the proud parents of three 
children. They made Vinita their home until Mr. Berry's passing in 1957.

Georgia, who had never worked outside the home or learned to drive a car, chose 
to further her education and begin a career in nursing. She did this while two 
of her children were still in high school. 

After completing nursing studies in Miami to receive her LPN certification, she 
went to work in Vinita. 

She met and married Bill Boyd and they made their home in Oologah briefly before 
moving to Claremore. 

Georgia began working at Claremore Regional Hospital, retiring at the age of 62 
after many years of service there.

Georgia was a young-at-heart mother who loved to participate in whatever her 
children were doing. 

She was particularly fond of skating and when she wasn't working, she could 
often be found at the rink, having a great time. She was a good example of love 
and caring, selflessness and generosity.

She is survived by her children, son, Francis Berry of Canadian, south of 
Eufaula; daughters, Eunice Crabtree of Paso Robalas, Calif., and Janette Tiger 
of Tulsa; 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Hope Vandyken 
and Monty Vincent of Montana; five step-children, whom she considered her very 
own, Vicki Echols of Langley, Margaret Gregory of Vinita, Dale Boyd of Texas, 
Doyle Boyd of Colorado and Doug Boyd of Wisconsin. 

Her parents, her first husband, infant son Stephen, two sisters and two brothers 
preceded her.
