Georgia L. Freston passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday, March 4, 2018. She was born on February 19, 1938 to George and June A. Lee Gerritson, in Ogden, Utah.

Georgia attended Ogden area schools, graduating from Ogden High School. She had many friends and was the captain of the girl’s basketball team. She married the love of her life, Jonathan C. Freston and together they had three children, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. She was very devoted to her family and very proud of them all.

She was an amazing artist, creating many prize winning paintings in oils and acrylics. She enjoyed traveling, camping, and boating with her family. She also enjoyed crocheting, reading, animal watching, jewelry making, and all types of crafts. She accompanied Jon on an exciting trip to Russia in 1994, while Jon briefly worked there.

Georgia is survived by her husband, Jonathan of Harrisville; her daughter, Laura (Robert) Bemenderfer of North Ogden; her son, Ronald (Sherri) of Layton; and one grandson, five granddaughters, three great-grandsons, and three great-granddaughters. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Janet King; her sister and brother-in-law, Geri (Charlie) Kent; nephew, Rod Campbell; her parents, and her parents-in-law.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Seth Lewis, Taylor, Paige, Valery, Rose, Lori, Angie, Miller, and Jim from Encompass Home Health and Hospice. We also thank and appreciate all of the caring and wonderful staff and residents and their families from the Covey at Quail Meadow Assisted Living.
