Georgene K. Asante
September 18th, 2015
Georgene Asante passed away suddenly on September 18, 2015 after a lingering and courageous battle with her illness. She was a loving mother, devoted wife, sister, daughter, friend, co-worker and always putting others before herself. Georgene had the most generous heart and touched many lives with her presence. Her family and friends will always be thankful for the gift that was her life. Georgene was an avid reader who enjoyed the company of a good novel on her Kindle which accompanied her to wherever she went. She especially enjoyed spending time with her handsome son Cole, enjoyed the company of her brother Bj, and visiting with her best friends Erin and Coralee. Georgene is survived by her parents Dr. James and Ethelda Asante; her loving son Cole; her brother James K. Asante; her husband Perry Jones; and devoted friend Erin Viergutz. She is also survived by her paternal and maternal grandparents. Georgene’s memory will also continue to live in the hearts and minds of uncles, aunts, cousins, numerous extended family, past co-workers, and many life-long friends.
She was born on December 20, 1979 at Dudley Road Hospital in Birmingham, England. Georgene was a beauty in the world that filled many people with the incredible joy she felt for life. The Asante family would like to especially thank Dr. Abdulhadi, Dr. McDougal, and Dr. Bouwer for their phenomenal care during Georgene’s illness.

James, Ethelda, and family. Although I haven't seen Georgene in the last few years I always had her in my thoughts and prayers. I will always have the memories of the hours we spent playing Barbies, Cabbage Patch Dolls, dress up, roller skating, and sledding at bumpy slide. Plus the many hours we spent talking and how she was always so happy and loved to make people laugh. I will always miss her. I am so sorry for your loss. Lots of Love
James, Ethelda and family, we will always remember the happy little girl and the beautiful woman that Georgene grew into. She will forever be in our hearts. Our deepest sympathy.

To James, Ethelda, and Perry, Shurla and I along with the pastoral staff and members of Living Waters Worship Center of Seventh-day Adventists in Dallas, Texas, USA extend to you our deepest sympathy. We know that Georgene will be dearly missed by all of her wonderful family and friends. To your entire family we say, “Your sorrow is our sorrow.” The Bible declares that death will be the last enemy of God and man to be destroyed (I Corinthians 15:26). We have the assurance that when Jesus comes, He will “wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4). We join you in looking forward to that blessed Day! Until then, may the grace of God through the sweet communion of His Holy Spirit be your healing balm. Sincerely, Marlon T. Perkins, Sr. Pastor First Lady Shurla R. Perkins

To the Jones, Asante & Ratteray Families:On behalf of the Simons & Simmons families we extend our deepest sympathy to you all during your hours of bereavement. We know you will truly miss your wife, mother, daughter, sister and grand-daughter, but keep your hands and your faith in the hands of the Lord and He will surely give you strength to endure these moments. Georgene was a very friendly person. I (aunt Eulene) especially remembers her and Perry taking care of her uncle Victor's animals while he was hospitalized. Those kind deed will never be forgotten. May God bless you all.

Dear James, Ethelda and entire Asante Family, Are deepest sympathies to you, on the loss of your wonderful and beautiful child. Georgene's kind soul and warm heart will be with you forever. Not until each Loom is silent And the Shuttles cease to fly, Will God unroll the pattern And explain the reason why The dark threads are as needful In the Weaver's skillful hand As The threads of gold and silver For the Pattern which He planned. God Bless, The Cope Family
