The Living Tree
Editor: Nola Milhoan
Georgia Shearer was born on January 8, 1906 and on May 5, 1927 married Vern Willey. Georgia loved to cook, and Vern loved to eat. As their family grew, Georgia taught her girls to do as she did (only the girls, times being what they were) and as their families grew and grandchildren accumulated, the joy of being in the kitchen and sharing recipes grew with them. As times have changed, men and boys have become an integral part of this legacy, helping to preserve old traditions and create new ones.
In 1993, Nola Milhoan (a granddaughter) and Peggy Branson (a daughter) decided that a collection of Georgia Willey's recipes was needed to preserve them. Georgia was, even then, in fragile health and Nola and Peggy worried that when she passed on, the legacy represented by her recipes would be lost. Thus was the original "The Living Tree, Willey Connection Recipe Collection" also known as "The Blue Cookbook" conceived. In 1998 Georgia Willey died and in 2018 Peggy Branson passed on. Now, in 2022, Nola Milhoan feels the need to preserve her mother's generation of Willey recipes.
