The Graveside Service for Ms. Georgia L. Barrett of Atlanta, Georgia will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at Champ Waters Cemetery, Montezuma, Georgia with Reverend Jerome Glover officiating.

Ms. Georgia L. Barrett was born on February 22, 1943 in Montezuma, Georgia to the late Sweet Lee Strong and Willie Clarence Strong. Early in life, she traveled around the United States, living in Miami, Florida, Brooklyn, New York and Trenton, New Jersey. She spent the final portion of her life in Atlanta, Georgia, living only four blocks away from Martin Luther King’s birth home in the historic Old Fourth Ward District. While there, she moved into the Gartrell Court Projects, where she gained a reputation among her peers as being a very outspoken, down to earth, hard-working, independent woman. She was a woman who would not back down and would tell it like it is, earning her the nickname “Georgia Power”. She worked at the Fulton County Jail for many years as a server in the cafeteria, and was beloved by the staff.
On November 28, 2020, God called his angel home. All who love her will truly miss her, and will always carry her in our hearts. She leaves wonderful memories to be cherished by her two sons: Curtis Barrett (Deidra) and Imed Jamal Patman (Francene) both of Atlanta, Georgia; her daughter, Jackie Sutton of Montezuma, Georgia; two brothers: Tommy Strong (Crosby) and Sammy Strong both of Atlanta, Georgia; three sisters: Vencie Larry, Gladys Simpson and Willie Ruth Tennant (Paul) all of Montezuma, Georgia; seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, a host of other relatives and friends.
