Laura Jean Posey

The first-ever secretary at Houston County High School, Laura Jean Posey, 92, passed from this earth at her home on July 31, 2020, after a battle with Alzheimer’s. Before going to work at Houston County High, Jean, as she was known, spent many years as a secretary for Northside Middle School.

Jean was born in Leesburg, Georgia, on June 11, 1928, to the late Garrett Van Livingston and Peggy Sue Bulloch. She was a long-time member of Trinity United Methodist Church where she was a vital part of the Asbury Sunday School class. When needed, Laura served as a volunteer church secretary and was a faithful servant of the Trinity Food Pantry. A champion in both target shooting and bowling, she also helped coach baseball teams for her children.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of many years, Harold Posey and her sisters, Sue Whatley and Patsy Livingston.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her children, son Harold Posey, Jr. (Heather) of Athens, daughter Pamela Alligood (Ken) of Dacula, and son Col. D.B. Posey USAF (Ret.) of Roswell, Georgia; grandchildren, Sarah Posey, Jake Hunt (Melissa), Lauren Halcik (Mike), and Kelsey Parham (Jesse); and 12 great grandchildren.

A private, graveside funeral service will be held at Andersonville National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Trinity United Methodist Church Food Pantry would be much appreciated.

McCullough Funeral Home and Crematory has the privilege of being entrusted with these arrangements.
