We said goodbye to our beautiful Fancy – wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend – on Tuesday, November 19th, 2024 as she went to be with the Lord.
Frances Thomson George was born in Starkville, MS on June 10, 1954 to Wilmot and Peggy Thomson. Her happy childhood was spent with her brothers, Joe and Jim, growing up on Greensboro Street.

Fancy met and married Ernest “Ernie” George September 30, 1977. They were married for 47 years. Fancy was active in Junior Auxiliary, Women’s Club, Chi Omega Alumni, tennis, bridge, and First Presbyterian Church. She and Ernie were fortunate to travel to many different countries.
