-
Date of Funeral:
Abilene – Georgia Bell “T.G.” Bivens passed from this life on
January 19, 2020. She was born on February 22, 1929, in Clarendon, Texas. Her
father passed away when she was three years old, and she and her beloved
mother, Tommie McNeal, made their life in Clarendon surrounded by their many
friends.
In November 1946, she married the love of her
life, Johnny Bivens, who preceded her in death in 1988. Together, they raised
three sons, Johnny Lynn Bivens, Neal Bivens and Dennis Bivens. Being the
self-sufficient and vibrant woman she was, she was active in her Sunday School
and activities at Pioneer Drive Baptist Church. She loved to travel, and she
and Johnny were able to share a trip of a lifetime to Hawaii and adjacent
islands. She traveled and toured extensively with the Prime Timers at Pioneer
Drive Baptist Church. She never missed an opportunity to share a meal or a
celebration with her friends and family.
She loved and adored her grandchildren, Cory
Lynn Bivens and Paige Bivens Blanco. She was always there for them with open
arms and a smile. She was thrilled when her great-grandchildren Kaden and
Sophia came into the world and was no less a loving grandmother to them.
Neal and Dennis preceded Georgia in death, as
well as a granddaughter, Lacy Jae Bivens. She is survived by her son, Johnny
Lynn Bivens and daughter-in-law Penny, of Tuscola; grandson Cory Bivens and his
wife Leslie of Abilene; granddaughter Paige Blanco and husband Adrian,
great-grandchildren Kaden and Sophia, all of San Angelo; as well as several
extended family members.
The family would like to thank the wonderful
staff and caregivers at Lyndale Memory Care Center and Kindred Hospice for
their care and support of Georgia in this last several months of her life. You
all make a difference in people’s lives, and it is appreciated.
