About the Mission:

The family of Georgia A. Bonesteel has requested Patriot Guard Riders participation in her military honors funeral services. Georgia, 82, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Friday, July 28, 2023, at the Wesley Health Care Center in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Born in Grand Junction, CO, Georgia honorably served in the United States Army from 1960 - 1962, attaining the rank of PFC (E-3).  In the late 1960’s, Georgia moved to Burnt Hills and began her career at GE in Schenectady as a computer operator. She was a member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Burnt Hills Fire Department, and in 1997, Georgia proudly graduated from Hudson Valley Community College with her degree in psychology. She was a civil war buff and she always expressed deep interest in history and culture. Georgia loved to read, and she was a master quilter who belonged to many quilting guilds.
