Tupper, Georgena- On January 3, 2024, our mom, Georgena (O’Brien)Tupper said goodbye and joined Kevin and Dad.
Mom was born in 1940 to Leah O’Brien and George MacKenzie. She was the baby and had four older sisters, Edna, Gladys, Etta and Grace; and an older brother, Clarence.
She met Dad, Orland “Orley” Tupper and together they ran their business, Currie’s Taxi from 1960 – 1980. Mom met many lifelong friends while safely delivering them to their destinations. When Dad passed in late 1979, Mom couldn’t run the business without her “mechanic” and mate.
Beginning a new chapter, Mom began working for MacQuarrie’s Pharmasave until she retired in 2010. She began retirement doing the things she loved best – playing cards, bingo, scratching her lotto tickets and heading to the mall on the bus with the gals from Church Street to do a little shopping. Those who knew Mom would say she was hardworking, no-nonsense and kind-hearted.
She is the last surviving member of her family. She follows in the footsteps of her husband, Orley; son, Kevin; grandson, Jason and her sisters and brother.
Left to grieve are her children, George (Kristi), Donna, Alan (Lori), and Susan as well as her grandchildren, Amy, Katy, Patrick, Andy, Tyler and Aaron; as well as six great-grandchildren.
At mom’s request, there will not be a funeral. However, donations in her memory may be made to Wynn Park East Wing in recognition of their excellent care of mom.
