Georgianna M. Talley

 

Georgianna Mary (Tuohey) Talley, 80, of Oxford, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 12 in Bridgetown, Barbados, while traveling with her family on a Caribbean cruise.

 

She was the beloved wife of Albert Lee Talley, Sr., with whom she shared 62 years of marriage.  Born April 6, 1939 to John T., Jr. and Jenny (Hunter) Tuohey in Chester, Pa., Georgianna lived in Aston Mills, Pa. and Chester, Pa. before moving to Oxford in June 1965.

 

Georgianna will be remembered by her family and friends as a gifted conversationalist and friend to everyone she met.  She was happiest with her family during the summer at Rehoboth Beach, Del., where she spent time every year since 1989. She loved the sand, sun and boardwalk, but most of all, she loved spending time with her family and friends at the beach. She was known for hosting lively family gatherings throughout the year, with the most anticipated being the massive Easter Egg hunts for all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and all the family friends. 

 

Georgianna worked hard to support her family over the years in various food service jobs, including several years at Bowling Green Brandywine Alcohol and Addiction Treatment Center, in Kennett Square. She was also a very proud and active member/friend of Bill W. for over 39 years, attending many conventions throughout the United States, and speaking engagements including taking a meeting to women in prison. It is said that it was always an honor to receive one of her coins when celebrating an anniversary marking another year in sobriety.

 

She had you in tears with all her love and compassion she gave so freely and carrying the message to save another one’s life.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband Albert Lee Talley, Sr., her sons Frank Day Talley, Micheal John Talley and Albert Lee Talley, Jr., one grandson Erik Jon Peterson and one brother Peter (Pete) Tuohey.

 

She is survived by her daughter, Linda Peterson (married to Dennis) of Oxford; six grandchildren, Jennifer (Talley) Rohrer (married to Paul) Rohrer of Quarryville, Sarah (Peterson) Colondrillo (married to Chris) of Carlisle, Mandy Talley (married to Thomas Lander) of Nottingham, Jason Talley (married to Kelly Wiggins Talley) of Colora, Md., Jake Talley, Ashley Ann (Talley) Utter (married to Steve) of Springfield, Virginia; nine great-grandchildren, Amber Hamson Wu, Dillon Rohrer, Marisa Colondrillo, Cody Colondrillo, Taylor Talley, Faith Talley, Gabriel Lander, Alistair Utter and Miles Utter; six brothers, John T. III (Mike), Joseph S., Philip J. (Jim), Donald J., Dennis, and Harry W. Tuohey; and one sister, Marian L. (Sis) Balawejder.

Funeral services will be announced at a later date.
