Georgia Janice (Taylor) Sands, age 73, of Slumber Valley (Meshoppen), PA passed away February 2, 2019 at the Tyler Memorial Hospital from an illness.

Georgia was born on February 12, 1945 in Elmira, NY the daughter of the late George Roy (d. 1982) and Lattie Olive Spencer Taylor (d. 1957). She attended school in Columbus, SC.

She enjoyed working and meeting new people. She was a long-time employee of Slumber Valley Campground and SBM at P&G. She was also employed at the Meshoppen Dress Factory.

Georgia lived at Slumber Valley Campground. She always had an open door. When you went to her place you always planned on a meal, great hospitality, and a full belly. Also, you better plan on staying for a while, for she always had stories to tell. She enjoyed her flowers, sewing, and cleaning. Most of all she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Georgia is survived by her children, Sarah Elizabeth Taylor of Mehoopany, PA, Janice Maire Sands of Tunkhannock, PA, Raymond "Charlie" Sands, Jr. of Silvara, PA, and Christopher Michael Sands of Meshoppen, PA; her grandchildren, William A.
