CARMEL – Georgia Smen died unexpectedly July 22, 2008. She was born Georgia Vardamis, in Norwich, Conn. She moved to Bangor as a child, and became a lifelong resident of both Bangor and Carmel. She was a tireless worker at Stillwater Healthcare’s kitchen, where she brought joy to the patients and staff before retiring. She was known for her generosity and compassion for everyone she met. Her jovial personality and positive outlook was infectious. Her love of nature, flower gardens, pets and beloved home, is what she cherished. She was also an avid Red Sox fan.
