Georgine E Aitken

Our beloved mother, cherished grandmother and friend has gone into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior at her daughter's home in West Jordan on February 17, 2010.
She was born February 11, 1924, to Louis and Maria Lingner in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Brooklyn Hospital School of Nursing in 1945. She then lovingly cared for her sister Marie's children before marrying the love of her life John on June 16, 1951.
Her greatest joy was caring for others and spending time with family and friends. She enjoyed Bible studies, church activities and cooking. She especially enjoyed eating desserts. She was a member of Southeast Baptist Church for 23 years. She was a true prayer warriora€"praying for and sending cards and letters of encouragement daily to family, friends and church members. We will remember her sense of humor, positive attitude and her love of Jesus. She taught us to laugh and to love. She will be missed tremendously by all who knew her.
