George Frances
Voshell Hederhorst
People leave their mark in different
. ways. Georgie Voshell Hederhorst
chose to use her hands to plant trees,
make quilts, arrange flowers, cook holi-
day meals, and paint china.
Bom on August 3, 1909 in a farm-
house near Bucklin, Kansas, Georgie
was the fourth child’of Julia and Charles
Voshell. This remarkable lady- died
peacefully on December 26, 2011.
Georgie was preceded in death by her
husband, Fred Hederhorst, her grand-
daughter, Shannon Hederhorst, and
great granddaughters, Kara and Kirby
Frederking. She is survived by her son,
George Hederhorst, and his wife,
Brenda of Houston; her daughter,
Jenefred Davies, and her husband,
Roland, of Austin; her grandchildren,
Kimberly and Will Frederking of
Houston. Cory and Maura Davies of
Dallas, Erin and Dane Byers of
Houston, Jarrett and Anne Davies of
Dallas, and Sheridan and Jon Cody
Bunch of San Antonio; and her eight
great grandchildren: Margaret,
Meredith, and Courtney Frederking,
Archer and Rowan Davies, Georgia and
Wilson Byers, and Ashton Davies.
Always she, cherished her childhood
memories on the wheat farm, where
often she gathered wildflowers, climbed
the windmill, milked the cows, churned
the butter, and made comshuck dolls.
She graduated from Bucklin High
Schodl in 1928. • ' -
While attending Kansas State
University, she met Fred Hederhorst,
joined the AlphaMu Sorority, and
majored in Home Economics. Yet she
.spent her spare time inside the campus
greenhouses pursuing her passion for
horticulture.
Immediately after their wedding in
1931, Georgie and Fred moved to
Baytown, where Fred started work as an
engineer for Humble Oil Refinery (now
Exxon) and Georgie actively volun-
teered within the community. Georgie
helped mobilize the efforts to build the
Baytown Cerebral Palsy School and to
preserve Hog Island as a nature area in
the Houston Ship Channel navigation
district. As a charter member of the
Minerva Study Club and the Dirt
Gardeners Club, for over 65 years she
presented programs to share her knowl-
edge of plants and nature, her love of
traveling, and her keen interests
numerous subjects.
For several years she taught horticul-
ture classes at Lee College in Baytown
Georgie spent much time cultivating
her gardens into full bloom and explor-
ing her creative side- making curtains,
quilts, ceramics, and decorating. After
successfully completing the course-
work, she served as a nationally accred-
ited flower show judge and as a master
of Ikebana floral arranging. As the first
person in Texas to use only native plants
for landscaping, she guided the plan-
ning and care of the grounds at Lee
College for many years. Additionally,
she oversaw the planting of trees at R.E.
Lee High School, and she joined many
other volunteers in the planting of 250
crepe myrtle trees along the major thor-
oughfare in the neighborhood. With due
regard to her continuing efforts to beau-
tify the environment, Georgie was hon-
ored as a local celebrity in Baytown’s
parade to celebrate its 50th Jubilee.
Noteworthy were Georgie and Fred’s
driving vacations through all 50 states.
The lack of air conditioning never
stopped their enthusiasm, especially
when exploring many of the National
Parks. Fred often said they saw the
countryside twice: once forward to spot
the wildflowers and then in reverse to
stop for Georgie to collect the seeds as
Fred took the photographs. Beyond
devotion to family, Georgie is well
remembered for her ever changing
themed Christmas gatherings, which
involved her transforming the home
decor from inside to outside and includ-
ed her creating the china, the gift wrap-
pings, and the costumes for family
members. Today such a presentation of
a Cowboy Christmas or a Japanese
Christmas is an accepted notion, but 50
years ago, it was a novel idea. Georgie
liked “change” because she never want-
ed life’s memories to get blurred and
believed by changing themes, we could
better distinguish special moments in
our family’s history.
There’s a Japanese proverb that says,
“Happiness is holding flowers in both
Hands.” Indeed Georgie lived her life
holding flowers in both hands. Her
service and burial will take place on
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at the
Memorial Oaks Funeral Home in
Houston, Texas. In lieu of flowers, our
family appreciates your contribution to
a charity of your choice.
