Georgette Knorowski, 96, lived a long and happy life full of love and family. She was born in Saint-Etienne, France to Francis and Yvonne Delay. She was one of six sisters, Marthe, Luce, Andree, Simone, Georgette, and Mireille. After World War II, Georgette attended art school in Marseilles, France, where she met Anthony J. Knorowski. They married and then came to America and began a family.
Georgette attended a local community college taking courses in computer science, and was later employed as a computer operator for many years until retiring. After retirement, Georgette enjoyed painting and taking art classes. She was a lifelong animal lover, providing a loving home for many animals over the years, including multiple dogs, cats, birds, and even a horse. Georgette volunteered over 5,000 hours with the Virginia Living Museum, participated in wildlife rehabilitation, and was an active member of Merrimac Dog Training Club.
Georgette is survived by her three children, Daniel (Holly), Richard (Sandy), and Patsy (Ed), grandchildren, Shane (Erin), Chris (Monique), Jodi, and Eddie, as well as great-grandchildren, Aurora and Asher. She greatly enjoyed using social media to keep in contact with her many relatives living throughout Europe. Georgette passed peacefully in her own home surrounded by family. We will always treasure our good fortunes in having someone who constantly poured out so much love to all of us and will keep all those happy moments in our hearts and minds forever.
A private ceremony will be held at Hampton Memorial Gardens. Arrangements by W.J. Smith & Son Funeral Home.
