Georgianna Meeker passed away unexpectedly on February 23, 2025, 11 years and 11 days after the passing of her mother, Mary Ann Rivers. The second of four children raised by Mary Ann and George Rivers, Georgianna was born on November 28, 1957 in Arlington, VA. She graduated from Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, VA, in 1976, and four years later completed the nursing program at George Mason University, in Fairfax. After training in the DC area, she took a full-time position at the Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, NY, where she married Philip Meeker in 1995. For a number of years she worked as a travel nurse, caring for patients at several major hospitals throughout upstate New York. In 2014, while attending her mother’s funeral in Nashville, she experienced a catastrophic fall that left her partially disabled and unable to continue her nursing career. She spent most of her later years in Rochester, NY, and a nursing home in Niagara Falls. She is survived by her brothers George and Dave, her sister Jennifer Miller, and former husband Phil.
