Mimose Pierre

Georges

80 Years of Love, Grace, and Generosity

With hearts filled with love and cherished memories, we celebrate the beautiful life of Mimose Pierre Mayard Georges, age 80, of Boynton Beach, Florida, who peacefully departed this life on November 11, 2026.

Born on September 26, 1946, in Gonaïves, Haiti, Mimose was the beloved daughter of the late Nadie Mayard and Daniel Paul Mayard. From the very beginning, Mimose brought joy, warmth, and happiness to those around her. She grew up surrounded by the love and protection of her family, particularly her older sisters, who helped guide her throughout her childhood. Intelligent, free-spirited, and full of life, Mimose possessed a natural curiosity and determination that would carry her through an extraordinary journey.

Mimose attended Notre Dame de Lourdes and later graduated from Lycée des Jeunes Filles. With a passion for education and a desire to make a difference, she continued her studies and earned her teaching license. She began her professional career as an educator at the prestigious Chez Turian, where she shared her knowledge and helped shape young minds.

In 1968, Mimose’s beauty and poise unexpectedly attracted the attention of individuals associated with the Duvalier regime, prompting her family to make the difficult decision to arrange her departure from Haiti. That June, she courageously immigrated to the United States, becoming the first among her siblings to embark on a new life in America.

What began as one young woman’s journey toward freedom and opportunity soon became a pathway for an entire family. With extraordinary generosity and unwavering devotion, Mimose helped more than ten of her siblings immigrate to the United States. This remarkable act of love was a reflection of the woman she was: someone who never hesitated to extend a helping hand, share her blessings, or put the needs of others before her own.

Determined to establish herself in her new country, Mimose continued her education at Columbia University, as she learned English as a second language. She later developed professional secretarial skills and built a successful, long-standing career working with various insurance companies. Her perseverance, intelligence, and strong work ethic allowed her to overcome challenges while creating a life filled with purpose and possibility.

In 1968, Mimose met Emmanuel Georges in New York, beginning a love story that would blossom into a lifetime of shared memories. On December 6, 1969, the two were united in marriage. Together, they welcomed their beloved twins, Cynthia and Edson, on July 1, 1971.

As a devoted wife and mother, Mimose worked tirelessly alongside her husband to provide a better future for their children. Their determination eventually allowed them to achieve one of their greatest dreams: purchasing their first family home in Roosevelt, New York. But sacrifices had to made in order to achieve this American dream. Mimose and Emmanuel would have to make the difficult decision in sending her young children back to Haiti in order to obtain it.

While living in New York, Mimose was a member of the Church of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, where her children and other family members also attended school. Her faith remained an important part of her life, offering guidance, comfort, and strength through the years.

In 2011, due to ongoing health challenges, Mimose relocated to Florida, where she could be surrounded by the love, care, and support of her family. During her years in Florida, she continued nurturing her spirituality as a devoted Bible student with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Her faith in God and Jesus Christ provided her with comfort, peace, and courage as she approached the final chapter of her life.

Yet, beyond her many accomplishments, what made Mimose truly extraordinary was her heart.

She was a woman of remarkable kindness, boundless generosity, and genuine compassion. Her sweetness was not simply something people noticed; it was something they felt. Whether offering words of encouragement, helping someone through a difficult time, or making personal sacrifices for those she loved, Mimose gave freely and wholeheartedly. She had a beautiful way of making others feel valued, protected, and loved.

Her life was a testament to the power of family, perseverance, and selflessness. She understood that true wealth was not measured by material possessions, but by the lives we touch, the love we share, and the opportunities we create for others.

Mimose leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory: her beloved husband, Emmanuel Georges; her son, Edson Georges, and daughter-in-law, Tiesha Winfield Georges; her daughter, Cynthia Georges Appiah, and son-in-law, Frederick Ofori Appiah; her treasured grandchildren, Malachi Nana Kofi and Hilary Akua Appiah; her loving sisters, Jocelyn Mayard, Marjorie Legagneur, and Marie-Laurence Delva; and her dear brothers, Jerry Mayard and Daniel Mayard.

She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and cherished friends whose lives were enriched by her love and generosity.

Although her physical presence will be deeply missed, the beautiful legacy Mimose leaves behind will continue to live through the generations she helped uplift and the countless hearts she touched.

Mimose’s life was a gift, her love was a blessing, and her memory will forever be a treasure.

She will be remembered not only for the extraordinary things she accomplished, but for the extraordinary love she gave so freely.

Forever loved. Forever cherished. Forever in our hearts.
