Obituary

Georgia Cordingley Oberhansley ,91, died March 22, 2019, at her home in Ashton, surrounded by her family.  She was born May 20, 1927 in Ashton, Idaho to George Huggins Cordingley and Arminta Egbert Cordingley, the fifth of six children. She was raised in Marysville, Idaho, a small community of close families and friends.

In her younger years she attended school in the old Marysville School house two blocks from her home. She graduated from Ashton High School,where many friendships were made as she grew up and attended school. She had fond memories of school and shared many stories about the fun times she had, especially roller skating and dancing. She married the love of her life, Wayne Oberhansley, on June 18, 1947, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They were blessed with eight beautiful children: LaDawn, Dennis, Garth, Gary, Ina, Steve, Eric, Craig and two foster sons Jay Redfox and Murray Phillips Redfox.

Georgia served all of her life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her love was for children and she had many callings in Sunday School, Primary, Nursery and as a Den Mother. She and her niece, Jacky Miller, were the first Nursery leaders in the Ward. It was held on Wednesday morning's for children 1.5 to 5 years old. She also served as counselor in the Relief Society and later asRelief Society President. She was compassionate and loving to all the sisters and their families but later returned to Primary and spent twenty more years there.

Georgia and Wayne raised their children in a beautiful spot on Conant Creek where family get togethers were a weekly occurrence up until Wayne's passing. She then built a smaller home in Ashton but the weekly gatherings didn't stop. She was a blessing to her family and all those around her.

Georgia always loved flowers, especially peonies. She had a special touch and everything grew beautifully for her. She looked forward to getting out and mowing her lawn and was able to do so until she was 90.
