Georgia Banta Henry, 79, Logansport, died at 8:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010, in Miller’s Merry Manor, Logansport.

Born Oct. 19, 1930, in Logansport, she was the daughter of George V. and Cleo Terrell Banta.

Georgia loved her family and delighted in having all of them together as often as possible. She enjoyed the outdoors, working in her beautiful flower beds and feeding and watching birds, especially her beloved hummingbirds.

Georgia was a friend to everyone, offering a listening ear, kind words and assistance whenever it was needed. She never knew a stranger because, according to her, they were just friends waiting to be met.

Georgia was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
