Mrs.

George
As originally published on Sunday, February
19 2012
Mrs. Bowie Marley George died on Friday,
February 17, 2012 at the Copper Ridge retirement
community in Sykesville, MD where she had been a
resident since mid-2011.
She was the wife of the late Harry George, Jr. of
Brunswick, MD, to whom she was married for over
50 years, and the daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Benjamin C. Marley Jr. of Towson, MD.\
She attended Towson High School, Mt. St. Agnes College
in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing,
and received a post graduate degree (OBGYN) from
Margaret Hague in New Jersey.
She was a 1st Lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corp. during
WWII and served in both the Panama Canal Zone
and the Pacific theatre with the 219th General
Hospital.
Growing up in the Towson/Lutherville area, which was
much more rural than today, she was an avid
point-to-point fan, including the vibrant social
fabric that surrounded the sport. Until her
passing she was a dedicated follower and viewer
of the Triple Crown, and horse racing in
general. (Her distant relative, Oden Bowie,
Maryland Governor 1869 – 1872, was President of
the Maryland and Pimlico Jockey Clubs and was
the principle force in establishing Pimlico in
1870 and the Preakness.)
Her discipline of study and degree was in nursing, for
which she had an incredible talent, knowledge,
and professional accomplishment. It was indeed
her passion and lifetime sense of being. She
started her career with the Baltimore Public
Health Department, Social Services Division, but
shortly transitioned to a nursing position at
Johns Hopkins Hospital. There her work included
assignments in the Marburg Pavillion where
dignitaries such as Joe DiMaggio, Cary Grant,
Spencer Tracey and others came to be treated.
She married Harry George, Jr. of Brunswick, MD, which
is where they resided throughout their long and
happy marriage. They enjoyed the post-World War
II years as members of the Frederick County
Cotillion, The Harper’s Ferry Cooking Club, The
January Club, and many dances at the Officers
Club at Fort Detrick. They also enjoyed
extensive traveling, including many family
voyages throughout the Caribbean, a three month
journey to Europe and the Soviet Union in the
late 60’s, and a car trip to Alaska with three
less than happy children in the back seat for
two months!
She was a founding member and served as Secretary of
the Brunswick Recreation Commission in its early
years. She pursued pottery, painting and yoga,
and was a collector of early American antiques
and silverware. She loved to shop for clothes
and could have easily given Imelda Marcos a
competitive run.
She was known for her determination and spirit,

on October 5, 1992 in Frederick, he is the son of David and Allison Garman of
Jefferson.
Andy was a member of Brunswick High School's senior
class and National Honor Society. He participated in Marching and Jazz Band
playing mellophone and trumpet, and BHS and All-County Concert Bands playing
french horn on which he was especially gifted. Theater productions drew Andy to
the stage as an actor, singer, set builder, backstage manager and musician in
the pit orchestra. He will be remembered for his natural portrayal of the boy
next door in a leading role for The 1980’s Musical. In four years of
participation on the Academic Team, he helped lead Brunswick to consistent
remarkable finishes with his genius for history, geography and general trivia.
He planned to study history, music and secondary education at McDaniel College
or Shepherd University, hoping to imitate two admired teachers, Mr. Nikirk and
Mr. Glidewell.
Active in St Paul Lutheran Church, Andy participated in
Camp Hope house restorations, Hurricane Katrina cleanup, the puppet ministry,
the SPY youth group, and St Paul Brass ensemble. He set an example of faith,
willing service and joyful living.
The highpoint of Andy’s Boy Scouting career was
celebrated on March 13th 2011 when he was presented the Eagle Scout award along
with his best friend Benji Smith. He joined Cub Scout Pack 1066 in 1999 and the
Jefferson Ruritan Club Boy Scout Troop 1066 in 2004. He earned Scouting’s God
and Church religious award. Andy was an accomplished outdoorsman who enjoyed
camping, cycling, hiking, backpacking and canoeing in locations all over the
United States. He climbed the 2nd highest peak in the lower USA, Mt Elbert, as
an 11 year old. He excelled at passing along his proficiency to those following
him on the trail to Eagle. For his Eagle Scout Project, Andy led 28 people in
refurbishing the Loudoun Heights Trail to Split Rock, overlooking Harpers Ferry,
WV.
Surviving in addition to his parents are his brother,
Daniel Garman, maternal grandparents, William and Martha Dennis of Keedysville,
paternal grandmother Nora Garman of Crownsville and many aunts, uncles and
cousins. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Louis Garman. Andy
lives on in and for others through his choice to be an organ donor. He will be
missed by his girlfriend Ellen Roddy and his many little friends, for whom he
was the ‘big kid’ they eagerly ran to for playtime. Andy also will be missed for
the contagious enthusiasm he kindled within his circles of activity and his gift
for mentoring that blossomed with his proficiency as a musician, actor, scholar
and Scout.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made
to The Community Foundation of Frederick County, 312 East Church Street,
Frederick, MD 21701-5611 with memo line ’Andy Garman’, and indication of a
