of Mountain View, AR

May 29, 1929 - December 22, 2021

Georgia was born May 29, 1929, on her father's birthday in Fifty-Six, Arkansas. She was named after her father George W. Cartwright and her mother Ruth Mae Hendrix Cartwright. She married Chester E. Passmore on December 31, 1946. She went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, December 22, 2021, at Stone County Medical Center in Mountain View, Arkansas.

Georgia was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Chester; son, Ronnie; brothers, Edwin, Wesley, Jimmy, and Benny Cartwright; sisters, Opal Wallace and Marie Goodman.

After Judy was born, the family moved to Sunnyside, Washington, to find work. Georgia worked in apple and cherry orchards and canning factories while Chester worked on building the Hanford Dam. They moved back to Mountain View in the early 1950s and son Ronnie was born. He was killed in 1959 in a tragic accident. Jeannie was born in 1960 and Eddie in 1961. They opened a small grocery store in early 1960, then later opened the Piggly Wiggly store that they operated until Chester became County Judge. Georgia then went to work at the Ozark Folk Center Restaurant. After retiring in 1994, she, Chester, and Marie gardened every Spring and Summer. She would can hundreds of jars of green beans, pickles, jellies, and would put up over 100 quart bags of corn each season. She was a hard worker and a wonderful cook. Her chicken and dumplings and biscuits and gravy will never be replicated. Christmases at their house is a memory that will forever be cherished by all the children and grandchildren. She would wake up before daylight and begin cooking breakfast for the 30+ people in the house.

Georgia was a loving wife, mother, and Gran. She was a loving sister and a dear friend and mother figure to many. She will be dearly missed by her family and the ones that loved her!
