Georgia Overton

Gone to Heaven much too soon, Georgia died on August 20, 2015.

She was born in Memphis on January 23, 2006 to William and Susan Overton and moved to Denver when she was 5. Georgia was nicknamed GoGo before she was born because she was such an active girl. She lived up to that nickname in her nine years of life, always on the move and ready to take on new challenges.

An insatiable learner, she approached everything with great gusto and authority. On any given summer day, you would find her in the pool-for hours on end. She loved to ride her scooter around Observatory Park. Georgia was so capable and wise beyond her years. She made friends everywhere she went, including her school days at Grace St. Luke’s in Memphis and Upark in Denver.

She had an amazing fashion sense for a 9 year old, and could spot a designer knockoff from across the room. She used her sense of style to transform her gracious Daddy’s hair and toenails more than a few times. For Georgia, life was literally a dance and you saw it in her every step. Her infectious smile and giggles will live forever in her family's heart.

Georgia is survived by her father William; brother, Will; Aunts, Lindsay Overton, Kendall Overton, and Tracy Kerr; Cousins, Andrew and Julia Kerr; Uncles, Gary Kerr and John Porter and her Grandmother, Sharon Porter.

A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. on Sunday at Emerson Funeral Home with Jimmy Adcox officiating.
