Obituary for Georgian Dean
On Friday, April 29th, Georgian Dean (76) was surrounded by family before she crossed into heaven. She was born September 8, 1945, in Spring Valley, Illinois to John and Sophie Mickel. She was the third child of four children and grew up in De Pue, Illinois where she met her soulmate and best friend, H. Keith Dean. They got married in February 1966 at St. Mary's Church in De Pue, Illinois. Georgian and Keith spent the next 56 years in love and were fortunate enough to be blessed with five children. Together they have called Enfield home for more than 45 years. She worked at Hallmark Distribution for many years. After retiring, she stayed busy working as a lunch aid at John F. Kennedy Junior High School. During her free time, she was an active member of Holy Family Church where she volunteered for the church’s bingo. Georgian enjoyed reading, diamond painting, gardening, and vacationing in Myrle Beach with her family. More than that, she loved spending time with family and friends, especially her 7 grandchildren. Camp Grandma's during the summer was a highly anticipated event. "What happened at Grandma's, stayed at Grandma's" was a motto the kids would giggle about weeks after staying over.
Georgian was preceded in death by her father, mother, two sisters Jeanette, Karen, and a brother James. Georgian is survived by her husband Keith Dean and her five children: Douglas Dean and wife Tammy of Franklin, MA, Vicki Dean of Enfield, Craig Dean and wife Tara of Fulshear TX, Daniel Dean of Ellington, and Nicole Dean of West Springfield. She was loved deeply by her 7 grandchildren: Kaitlyn, Devin, Alexis, Cassandra, Shelby, Carter, and Kasen.
Calling Hours will be held at the Browne Memorial Chapels, 43 Shaker Road, Enfield on Tuesday, May 3 from 4-7 PM. Her Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, May 4 at St. Jeanne Jugan Parish, (Holy Family Church), 23 Simon Road, Enfield at 10 AM. The burial will follow the funeral in St. Catherine Cemetery, Broad Brook, CT. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society or a local charity of your choice.
