Subject: Gg’s 1st Annual Memorial Picnic
Hi Mom-Mom,
Today we remembered my other great grandmother. Her name was Cory but most people called her Gg. She was born in Spotsylvania Virginia in 1921. She was adopted when she was six months old by Captain Edgar and Margaret Carver. Captain Edgar was a seaman and his ancestors came to America from England on a big flower boat one May.
She grew up in Hamilton and was a graduate of Eastern High School. She married my great grandfather, Fred Mueller in 1942. He served in the Pacific during World War II and when he returned they became bakers and opened The Dutch Oven Bakery. My great grandfather died in 1971.
Gg had two children, five grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. She died the day after I was born and my first outing as a newborn was to her memorial service. Mama said she was a wonderful grandmother. She was generous and kind and had a lead foot. Mama inherited her lead foot and that’s why she sometimes drives a little too fast.
May 29th was Gg’s birthday and she would have been 90 years old. We had a memorial picnic to celebrate her life at the brick garden at Stella Maris where she lived for as long as Mama can remember. We ate her favorite foods, sang happy birthday to her, wrote messages on balloons and sent them up to her in heaven.
