Georgia Lord’s daughters, members of Goodyear City Council and city staff shared stories and fond memories of the city’s longtime mayor who died Sunday at age 83.
The city announced Sunday evening Lord’s health had declined after she took a fall and that she died peacefully in her home surrounded by family.
Those who knew Lord described her as someone with unwavering confidence and candor who never left the house without her makeup.
“Mayor Lord was an incredible leader with a great vision for Goodyear,” says Rose Law Group Founder and President Jordan Rose. “She helped steer the city to exciting economic development and had a remarkable way of motivating everyone to row together. Personally, she was an inspiration to me — I just love Mayor Lord!”
