GEORGINA HODGSON
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the unexpected passing of Georgina Hodgson, at the age of 95.
Georgina was born on March 30, 1930, in Regina, Saskatchewan, to proud parents George and Agnes Whitbread. As a young teenager, she moved to Winnipeg, where she attended St. Mary’s Academy, and later pursued studies at business school. With a sharp mind and dedicated work ethic, she contributed to the family business before choosing to focus her energy on raising her children, a role she cherished above all.
A woman of strong values and deep community spirit, she was a proud and active member of the Order of the Eastern Star for more than 60 years, serving with distinction as Worthy Grand Matron of Manitoba from 2004 to 2005. Other memberships included the Shrine Ladies Auxiliary and the Daughters of the Nile. Her service left a lasting impression on many within these organizations and beyond.
Georgina found joy in wintering in Yuma, Arizona, and had a passion for travel, always eager to explore new places. A loyal fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, she rarely missed a game. Above all, Georgina loved nothing more than spending time surrounded by the people she loved and so she moved to Edmonton in 2008 to be with her family.
Georgina is deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her immediate family: Nancie, Claire-Ann, Hana (Pete), George, Jennifer, Sadie, and Kendrick. She also leaves to mourn her passing, a large extended family across Canada and the United States, along with many close friends whose lives she touched. She was predeceased by her parents George and Agnes, sister Jean, husband Alvin, stepdaughter Gerri, and son-in-law Jason.
A Celebration of Georgina’s Life will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Georgina’s honour may be made to MS Canada, the Alberta Cancer Foundation or the Canadian Lung Association, all charities near and dear to her heart.
Georgina leaves behind a legacy of warmth, service, and deep familial devotion that will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Georgie and I have been friends since I moved to Canada many, many years ago and joined Fort Garry Chapter. I will definitely miss not "talking" to her as we have always done it since we both moved from Manitoba. My thoughts and sympathy are with all the family. May she rest in peace. - Posted by: Valeria Cowie (best friend) on: Jul 12, 2025

My deepest sympathy is extended to Georgie's family and friends. She was a wonderful lady with an infectious smile. Always one of the first to help with events and lend a hand whenever needed. She was a super role model for me during my time with the Eastern Star. She will be missed by many. - Posted by: Andrea Mauws (Former Eastern Star member) on: Jul 05, 2025
