Georgia Bentley Prisbrey, 90, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2024, at her home in Cedar City, Utah. She was born on March 7, 1934, in Parowan, Utah, to Clyde Gillins Bentley and Mary Belle Bulloch.
Georgia spent her early years with her Grandma Bulloch, and her Aunt Jettie, who shaped her upbringing. She attended Cedar High School where she met George Jay Prisbrey, the love of her life. They were married on January 30, 1951, in the St. George Temple, sealing an eternal commitment.
Together, Jay and Georgia were blessed with six children: Chad, Kendall, Kelly, Valerie, Mark, and Shane. Family time was paramount to them, and they created cherished memories riding motorcycles, skiing, camping, hunting, and enjoying the outdoors.
Throughout her career, Georgia worked diligently at various establishments including the Park & Shop, the Bauery, Bennett’s Paint & Glass, and State Bank of Southern Utah, where she retired as a respected loan processor.
Georgia was known for her infectious sense of humor, always bringing joy and laughter to those around her. She found solace in books and the art of crochet, and she was a great cook and was known to frequently host family gatherings and holiday parties.
Above all, Georgia found her greatest joy in the company of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, who meant the world to her. Her unconditional love and unwavering support created a lasting legacy of warmth and compassion.
Georgia is preceded in death by her siblings Belva Jane, Rose Luree, Dorothy, John Clyde, Don, and Linda, her daughter Valerie Imlay, her beloved husband Jay Prisbrey, and her grandchildren Jared Prisbrey, Nash Prisbrey, and her great-grandchildren Avery Houston and Benjamin Imlay.
Her memory will be cherished by her surviving children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, extended family, and friends who were touched by her kindness, laughter, and love.
