Georgina R. Diaz

October 1, 1947 — August 9, 2025

Cornelia

Georgina R. Diaz, age 77, of Cornelia, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 9, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Mrs. Diaz was born on October 1, 1947, in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, to the late Francisco Rivera and Rosa Diaz. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters: Maria Rivera, Antonia Rivera, Manuela Rivera, Hilda Rivera and brothers: Porfirio Rivera, Santiago Rivera.

Georgina had a heart full of affection and a spirit that radiated calm. She was never one to raise her voice or show anger—instead, she met every moment with patience and kindness. She found beauty in the simple things: the rhythm of music that made her dance, the scent of fresh flowers, the joy of preparing a meal for those she loved, and the laughter of her beloved granddaughters.

Survivors include her loving husband of 62 years, Francisco Morales; daughter and son-in-law, Jeannette and Edgardo Alvarado; granddaughters, Leilani Alvarado and Natasha Alvarado (Johjans Garcia); sisters: Francisca Ortega, Petronila Rivera, Gloria Rivera, Carmen Rivera; brother, Francisco Rivera; close family friends, Lydia and Diego Alvarado; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services are scheduled for 3:00 pm on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Whitfield Funeral Home, North Chapel, with Elder Raul Alvarado officiating. Interment will follow in Yonah Memorial Gardens.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm until the service hour on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the funeral home.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Whitfield Funeral Homes & Crematory, North Chapel at 245 Central Avenue, Demorest, Georgia 30535. Telephone: 706-778-1700.



Georgina R. Díaz, de 77 años, residente de Cornelia, falleció pacificamente el sábado 9 de agosto de 2025, rodeada de su familia.

Georgina tenía un corazón lleno de cariño y un espíritu que irradiaba calma. Nunca alzaba la voz ni mostraba enojo; al contrario, afrontaba cada momento con paciencia y amabilidad. Encontraba la belleza en las cosas sencillas: el ritmo de la música que la hacía bailar, el aroma de las flores frescas, la alegría de preparar una comida para sus seres queridos y la risa de sus queridas nietas.

Le sobreviven su amado esposo de 62 años casados, Francisco Morales; su hija y yerno, Jeannette y Edgardo Alvarado; Sus nietas, Leilani Alvarado y Natasha Alvarado (Johjans García); sus hermanas, Francisca Ortega, Petronila Rivera, Gloria Rivera y Carmen Rivera; su hermano, Francisco Rivera; sus amigos cercanos, Lydia y Diego Alvarado; y sus numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas.
