That is sad Steve. Very much a Naval connection there.
Well done indeed, Georgina.
RIP.

Thanks for the extremely kind words gents. Owing to the uncertainty of the cause of death the poor woman has been taken to the Glebe coroners waiting for an autopsy. This of course means that the family cannot determine funeral dates just yet.
Steve

Steve, I'm sorry for your and your family's loss. Would this be the Georgie who was the postie at Coonawarra in the mid 80's?

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

Such wide and varied connections to the Navy in general means that Georgie is most welcome to comemorated on the SH website.
I'm sorry for your loss and the whole Post mortem thing just drags things out.
Pleae take care and look after yourself for the family that she has left behind.

Seejay, yes mate that was her. I recall first seeing her when Tobruk visited Darwin one time. Thought that she looked pretty good, no idea I would be married to her a few years later.

I remember Georgie as a very happy postie who spent many an hour having tea or coffee with the girls during her married patch mail deliveries. Sad that she's gone way too early.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family Steve, I remember Georgie as being a beautiful and fun person in all my dealings with her at Coonawarra, it has been quite a shock to hear of her passing.

May your walls know joy; May every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility.

I just found out that Georgie was at Lonsdale in about 78/79 or there abouts. I was chatting with an ex LWRCK that I knew there. She was the one that told me her maiden name was Holmes. That is what I knew her as. Always had a smile, a bit of a pixie like nose and page boy short brunette hair do. I remember she loved a party, of which there were many at Greenwich House. I hope that I have the same person. But at the same time I wish it wasn't the same person.

RIP Georgina.
