Michelle’s Garden

Michelle DeGeorge worked as a page at the Library from 1991-1995. The DeGeorge family has had a long tradition of service to the Library. Michelle’s grandfather, Fred DeGeorge, Sr., and father, Fred DeGeorge, managed the Library’s buildings and grounds.

Michelle passed away in November 2000. Her family and friends will remember her as the community enjoys this lovely, restful addition to the Library.
