CHRISTOPHER MCFEELY
Lovingly memorialized by GINA MCFEELY on September 24, 2015
Born in Alliance, Ohio, Chris was the 2nd of 5 sons born to Thomas D. McFeely (deceased) and Camellia (Russell) Natale (deceased). After graduating from Alliance High School, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and proudly served for 4 years. Chris attended The Boyd School of Travel and Business Careers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and worked at United Airlines as a travel agent in Northern Virginia prior to moving to San Diego, California. Chris was employed as a loan officer with WJ Bradley Mortgage Capital Corporation, a Financial Specialist at Paramount Equity Mortgage, and, at the time of his death, was a Senior Loan Officer with iDirect Home Loans.
Chris was a loving and adoring father who spoke frequently of how proud he was of his daughter, Daniella. Chris was loyal to all who were blessed to call him their friend and he cherished those relationships. He had a very special bond with his brothers. When they would get together, they would spend hours reminiscing and sharing stories of their years growing up together – so many cherished memories. An avid sports fan, he enjoyed football the most and eagerly awaited the start of the season every year. He was a major fan of all Cleveland sports teams and, of course, loved The Ohio State Buckeyes. Chris was also a bit of a celebrity as he played baseball with Reese Body Shop at the age of 14 - and they won the F League State Championship. Chris enjoyed life and, with his great sense of humor, he brought laughter into all of the lives that he touched. Chris adored his nieces and nephews, and he always kept in touch by phone or Facebook. Family was very important to him.
Survivors include his daughter Daniella McFeely of San Diego, CA; brothers Thomas L. (Patricia) McFeely of Ohio, Matthew (Sherri) McFeely of Florida, Mark (Tana) McFeely of Arizona, and Michael (Christina) McFeely of Ohio; sister Julie (Scott) Rockwell of Ohio; step-father Phillip J. Natale; step-mother Connie (Seruch) McFeely; and many nieces and nephews.

Georgia Mae Smith
Lovingly memorialized by Gloria Wilson Moore on September 22, 2015
Georgia on my mind...
Georgia Mae Smith, born in Colquitt, Georgia on a Fall evening in 1924, was always one of the most beautiful women in whatever room she entered. Her physical beauty was surpassed only by her warm, accepting personality and openheartedness. Her laugh was infectious. Quite often, people made her laugh just to hear her famous "cackle." Everyone was welcomed into her world regardless of age, religion, gender, race or sexual orientation. Georgia loved being around a diverse group of people and was always open to new ideas and perspectives. Throughout her long life, she worked hard and played hard. She maintained lifelong friendships with many people from her community, church, and workplaces.
Although Georgia Mae was a real "Georgia Peach," she lived most of her life on the West Coast, first in Portland, Oregon and then in Oakland, California where she raised her three sons, Stanley, Freeman, and Chris on her own. Even with a limited formal education, Georgia was successful in her chosen field: cooking. She was a magnificent self-taught cook who could make everything from fine French and hearty British cuisines to the best-ever Southern fried chicken, New Orleans-style gumbo and Italian spaghetti. She was a baker, too, and was well known for her lemon meringue pies, peach cobblers, and banana pudding. She honed her skills as a chef at The Public House in Oakland, and then the Metropole Restaurant in Berkeley where she ruled the kitchen for 20 years.
She loved to gamble - cards, horse racing, casinos - and made weekend trips to Reno and the racetracks. When her baby sister, Charlene Outland, moved to Monterrey, California in the 70s, they planned and co-hosted card parties and luaus and formal events together for years. They both loved to entertain. Over the following years, the sisters became best friends; talked on the phone almost everyday and visited each other as often they could. When Charlene died in June, 2015, Georgia Mae was inconsolable.
Georgia Mae was an avid reader and she kept abreast of current events. She loved children, calla lilies, beautiful clothes, dogs, margaritas, brandy, and her own cooking. You knew it was an occasion when she broke out her favorite champagne. She loved shopping flea markets and auctions. One of her favorite sayings upon entering a room was, "Look what you could have if you ain't got nobody."
She was raised Baptist in Georgia in New Hope Baptist Church. In Oakland, she first joined the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, and was later a member of the Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church for nearly 30 years. But, she was fascinated by Buddhism and other Eastern religions, too. She was associated with Oakland's Perfect Liberty Church for many years. Georgia enjoyed road trips and social gatherings with members of both churches.
Georgia Mae is survived by her three adult sons, Stanley Lippitt (and his wife Bianca and their sons, Oshmin and Beethoven), Freeman Demry, Jr, and Christopher Lane, (and his former wife, Yvonne "Peaches" Lane); and by her granddaughters, Chawnette Sneed and Christin Lane; grandson, Christopher Lane; great-granddaughters, Raynette Albert, A'Nyah Ramirez, Mia Baskin, and Layah Furtado; great-grandson, Dionte' Robinson, and great-great granddaughter, Bailey Rae Albert. Georgia Mae is survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was especially close to her niece, Gloria Wilson Moore, who she treated like her daughter, and her great-niece, Amber Moore, who she named. Other members of Georgia Mae's extended family who survive her include Walter Lane and Freeman Demry, Sr. She is preceded in death by loved ones who will welcome her home including her mother, Pearl Singletary and her father, Richard Calhoun; her siblings John Lee Cook, Dora Mae Brantley, Charlene Outland, L.C. Singletary, Wilmer Singletary, and Waddell Sales, Joseph Calhoun, Patricia Calhoun and Lawson Calhoun; and life-long friends including Ad Lippitt.
One of Georgia Mae's long-time best friends, Michael Kretowicz, says of her, "Georgia touched the lives of so many people. I think about her life in Georgia and how she became a woman who cared so deeply about her family and her friends. She was never selfish. She was a beautiful soul who acknowledged people. And she could put you in your place, if you needed it. Thank all of the Gods of the universe for Georgia Mae Smith. She was more than a friend. She was a generous, smart woman who made our lives beautiful."

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day `
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free.
