Georgia Mae Adams

Georgia Mae was born in Nash County to Bunyan D. and Pearl Joyner Cooper on April 29, 1923. She went to school in Spring Hope and was raised on a tobacco farm in Nash County. Georgia Mae was a beautiful and loving lady who cared dearly for her family and friends. She finally was called home to the Lord after several years of advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
