Georgia James

Georgia Ann Cross James, 88, of Stanford, KY passed away on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville, KY. Born on February 22, 2024, 1936 in Danville, KY to the late Newton Kelley Cross and the late Emma Elizabeth Jackson Cross. She is the widow to the late Henry “Clark” James, Sr.

Georgia dedicated most of her life to the service of others, working as a Nurse's Aid in the healthcare sector and as a homemaker. In her spare time, Georgia found joy in reading, listening to gospel music, and watching old westerns and game shows. A lover of animals, she was always one to take in and care for the local cats that needed a home. A woman of unwavering faith, she found peace in the words of Psalm 23: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." She read her Bible everyday, and was a devout and dedicated prayer warrior who found strength in her Faith and Lord, Jesus Christ. She attended First Church of God in Stanford.

Survivors include one son, Henry “Buster” James, Jr. (Kimberly) of Stanford; one daughter, Elizabeth “Beth” Allen of Stanford; four grandchildren, Haley Leann Allen, Alex Moberly (Brittani), Shelby Moberly (Adam Smith) and Laura Ryan; three great-grandchildren, Camrynn “CJ” Moberly, Creedence Moberly and Charlotte Smith; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry “Clark” James, Sr., parents, Kelley and Emma Cross; two sisters, Gleneva Smock and Leona Cross; one brother, Louis Cross; and special companion, Eugene Ledford.
