Georgette Litchfield

It is with great sadness that the family of Georgette Litchfield, 82, of Deer Park Texas, announce her passing on Saturday, January 11, 2025. She was born in Port Arthur Texas on July 8, 1942, to Wilma & Kenneth Nantz. She was married to Bill Litchfield for 63 years. Some of her hobbies have included Sewing, Dancing, Woodworking, Camping at Powell Park (and to Bill’s chagrin, catching fish and making him clean them), Reading, and Crocheting.

She was preceded in death by her mother Wilma Nantz, her father Kenneth Nantz and brother Ed Nantz.

Georgette will be lovingly remembered by her husband Bill Litchfield, her son William Litchfield Jr and his wife Edwina, her daughter Lori Harris and her husband Marcus. Her grandchildren, Christopher Taylor Litchfield and his wife Kristen, Hannah Alayne Harris, Hamilton Price Harris and great-grandson Mason Arthur Litchfield.

One of Georgette’s favorite poems – The Dash by Linda Ellis:

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.

He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own, The cars…the house…the cash.

What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard. Are these things you’d like to change?

For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real.

And always try to understand the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more.

And love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile,

Remembering this special dash might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read with your life’s actions to rehash…

Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent YOUR dash?

Memorial donations may be made in Georgette’s name to the Deer Park Animal Shelter.
