Georgina A. (Melanson) Cormier

Georgina Cormier lived her faith each day of her eighty-nine years. Perhaps she knew that without faith nothing was possible but with it…nothing was impossible!

Almost a year later Georgina was reunited with her husband of 70 years, Laurie J. Cormier who died April 26, 2018. She died Wednesday, April 10, 2019 after a period of failing health at the Atrium at Drum Hill in Chelmsford.

Born on January 3, 1930 in Cocagne, New Brunswick, Canada she was a daughter of the late Alderic and Anita (Cormier) Melanson. Raised and educated in New Brunswick she married Laurie in July of 1947 and they moved to the States in 1961 settling in Waltham. Longtime residents they transitioned to the Atrium Assisted Living in Chelmsford 2017.

Georgina made their house a home. It was filled with love…and discipline….and faith….and hugs that lasted long after she let go. The kitchen was often busy with baking sheets where she'd meticulously prepare her signature and sought after pancakes, apple dumplings and breads. In later years she kept her mind active with on-going games of scrabble played with family and friends.

A founding member of Mount Hope Christian Church in Belmont the Bible is the book she read from the most and trusted in its readings, passages and messages.
