[Vwoolf] Sad News

Mon Mar 27 19:10:02 EDT 2017

Hi all,
Georgia’s lovely colleague, Phyllis Weliver, just sent me this link to a lecture given by Georgia while on her Fulbright in London. It's an excerpt from her monograph in progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e34P0-n9vF<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e34P0-n9vFg>

As Phyllis said to me, you'll see that the lecture begins, "It's such a pleasure to be here today," and indeed it is so bittersweet to see Georgia here.

With warmest wishes,
Jane

Like everyone, I am heartbroken. I have known Georgia for over 20 years. I feel the same way you all do, and like Judith Allen, thank you for your beautiful words. I think of how much joy Georgia brought to the lives of everyone around her—how much joy she took in life. One could fall into conversation with her as if no time had passed. The world is smaller without her. I miss her deeply.

What I remember best (and I did not know Georgia well) over the course of many years of Woolf conferences, was her steady, calm manner and her smile from the eyes downward. I’ve been thinking of her all day and so regretting that her life ended too soon.

Such a good spirit and fine scholar.  Remember the orphaned cat found at the end of the St. Louis Woolf Conference?  Of course it got to live out its life with her!

Shocking news.  I join everyone who knew Georgia in quiet and personal grief,  I remember her VWS Conference in St. Louis--the weather was awful--so much rain--so many flights cancelled or postponed.  And she was admirably focused and unfazed by it all.  She will be missed by us all.

Hello, Everyone,

It is with deep sorrow that the I share with you the news that Georgia Johnston has passed away after a long battle with cancer. In the Woolf community, she will be remembered as a brilliant, generous scholar and caring friend, and we will keep you informed about plans to honor her and pay tribute.

May she rest in peace.

Best,

Kristin
