In Memoriam

 

Georgina was a lifetime staunch supporter of the GCCFI and a member of SABBCI. She had been until recent years a unique and most successful breeder of Siamese cats in Ireland, with wonderful breed lines, which led to great successes in shows across the country and in the UK.

 

As the Treasurer of SABBCI for many years, Georgina, whose lifetime experience with financial matters gained from her career as Chief Accountant in Guinnesses' Brewery, had oversight of the club's finances. She saw to it that all our financial affairs were properly conducted and kept in good order, thereby ensuring that we always had funds in hands to enable us to put on our Cat Shows.

 

Geogina's other interests included the activities of the Fine Gael party in her local area of Dun laoghaire and the British Legion. Her father had served in the RAF during the War and Georgina was a loyal supporter of the Legion's commemorative events.

I am sorry to hear the GCCFI and SABCCI have lost such a staunch supporter. Mrs. Goodison sounds like a wonderful person who led a very full and busy life, with the love of cats at the centre of it. Sincere condolences to her family and friends.
