Georgia Ann

Stephens

On Monday November 2, 2026, Georgia Ann Garvin-Stephens passed peacefully in her home in Watertown, Tennessee at the age of 74. Beloved sister, mother, grandmother, and aunt, she is survived by her sister Regina (Carter) Pillow, daughter Sasha (Lee) Stevens, grandchildren Eli Stevens and Isabella Pace, sister in-law Sheila Bates, nephews Neal Garvin, Matthew & Steven Pillow, and nieces Rachel, Katie, and Emily Garvin. Born December 22, 1951 in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Georgia lived a long life filled to the brim with artistry, travels, nature, and love. Raised in a military family, she lived in various states across America as well as multiple countries overseas. She developed a deep appreciation for the arts early in life, finding ways to use painting, poetry, movement and more to express herself and her passions.

Being so spiritually in tune and whimsical at heart, with a deep appreciation for the universe, she had such a magical way with plants, animals, and people alike. Georgia’s inherent love for nature was made apparent with the plethora of outdoor activities she partook in, some notable ones being horseback riding, kayaking, and gardening with a thumb greener than an unripe tomato. If she wasn’t outside soaking up the sun, you could find her doing yoga and meditating, curled up reading a good book, tending to her wild grandchildren, putting her artistic abilities to use, or whipping up a meal that would have family members hounding her for recipes for years to come.

Georgia was a beautiful woman with a soul fit to match. Grounded and soft spoken, she truly was the picture of compassion and understanding; to know her was to know love personified. Georgia was a creative mind who seemed to excel in all she did, so much so that you’d never know if she was bluffing. She carried herself throughout life with grace, dignity, and a sort of spunk that simply couldn’t be replicated. A woman of so many talents, qualities and interests, it’s impossible to fit the essence of who she was into words on a page. An artist, a friend, a mother, a Baba to many tiny dancers…. but most of all, a very special lady who will forever be missed and cherished in our hearts and minds.

A celebration of life will be held on November 22, 2026 at The Gathering at Milton & The Vault in the Vault building from 2:30pm-5:30pm. All who loved her are welcome to attend, and we encourage you to bring any photos you may have of or with her to display at the gathering. 12026 Milton Street Milton, TN 37118
