Longview, TX - Georgia Sheffield, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, peacefully passed away in her home on July 11, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on June 17, 1956, in the heart of Longview, Texas, Georgia's life was a testament to love, resilience, and unwavering faith. Georgia was the cherished daughter of the late Martha and Bill Lampkin. She grew up surrounded by the warmth and love of her family, sharing her childhood with siblings who remained dear to her throughout her life. Predeceased by her sister Joyce Miller and brother Kevin Steverson, Georgia carried their memories lovingly with her. A devoted mother, Georgia's legacy lives on through her children, daughters Nakesha Stevenson and Alesha Nelson, and son Karlos Moore. Her nurturing spirit and gentle guidance shaped their lives profoundly. Georgia's love knew no bounds, extending to her treasured grandchildren Shamorya Nelson, Shaqwanzia Nelson, Stacy Nelson (Tatiana), Keith Burkes, Shaniya, and special granddaughter Cherith Camper. Her joy multiplied with the arrival of her great-grandchildren, who brought new light into her life. Georgia's family was the cornerstone of her life, but her heart also reached out to many others. Her surviving siblings, Jaunetta, Otto, Cedric, and Johnny, along with her numerous nieces and nephews, were constant reminders of the enduring bond of family. Her special friend, Teresa Horton, stood by her side, offering unwavering support and companionship. An active member of Victory Temple Church, Georgia's faith was an integral part of her life. Her soulful voice, lifted in song, resonated with all who heard it, touching hearts and inspiring those around her. Singing was not just a hobby but a reflection of her spirit, bringing her—and those she sang for—immense joy and peace. Beyond her musical talent, Georgia had a deep appreciation for family time. Her home was often filled with laughter, love, and the delightful chaos that comes with a large, close-knit family. These gatherings were a testament to her ability to bring people together, fostering a sense of unity and belonging.
