Georgia Ann Gates Brooks, 87, of Conyers, GA, passed away Saturday, June 13, 2020 at The Retreat of Conyers. She was born in Porterdale, Ga to Joseph Marvin Gates and Evelyn Wheeler Gates. Georgia was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, William H. Brooks, Jr.; brothers, Joseph Marvin Gates, Jr., James Harold Gates, and Jack Lee Gates; and her sisters, Betty Jane Henderson and Emily A. Gunn. Georgia (known to many as Ann) was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and a friend to many. She was a confidante and a true Southern lady who loved the Lord. Georgia was a member of Conyers First United Methodist Church and the Maxwell Sunday School class. She enjoyed playing cards, going to the beach, and cooking for her family and friends. The most important things in her life, however, were her husband Bill and her daughter Lisa. To them, she was like no other. Georgia was greatly loved and will be deeply missed by many.
