Obituary of Jural Evans Avery
October 14, 1944 – June 17, 2025
Jurals Evans Avery lived a life defined by deep love, love for her family, her friends, her animals (all of them), and the cherished communities of Livingston and Rome, Georgia.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frances Erwin Evans and Sidney Raymond Evans, Sr.; her beloved brother, Sidney Evans, Jr.; her treasured
granddaughter, Elena Hope Avery; and her devoted husband and the love of her life, George Sanders Avery who described his wife as a “beautiful and delicate
songbird”.

Jural is survived by her children: Dana Avery Abrams of Peachtree City, and Mark Sanders Avery and Matthew Patrick Avery, both of Rome. She was the proud and loving grandmother of Austin Sanders Avery, Evan Liverette Avery, Joshua Adrian Abrams, Luke Avery Abrams, Noah Calvin Avery, Grace Vivian Avery, and her youngest grandchild, Van Patrick Avery. As well as her niece, Mara Hollomon Evans.

A gifted artist and true creative spirit, Jural had an extraordinary ability to transform simple objects—leaves, branches, shells, or items found around the
house—into heartfelt works of art. Her wreaths, centerpieces, and handcrafted gifts carried emotional weight far beyond their materials. To receive a creation
from Jural was to be seen, truly and deeply. Her artistry, long predating trends and influencers, came straight from the heart—and often brought others to tears
in the best way.

Her home was a haven—joyful, lively, and always full of life in every form. Dogs floated on pool rafts, birds flew freely through the kitchen, turtles munched on tomatoes, and cats curled up in every room. Pugs dozed on laps while children lit bonfires in the yard, pasture, or even the driveway. That same driveway bore
witness to countless skinned knees that Jural gently mended with love, care, and popsicles.

She welcomed chaos with open arms and gave others the freedom to be fully themselves. Her children grew up in a home where feelings were shared openly,
laughter was constant, and animals outnumbered people.

Jural came from a proud lineage—she was a Rome debutante, a Daughter of the American Revolution, and the seventh generation to live on her family’s land in
Floyd County. But her true legacy was not in titles or traditions; it was in her ability to make everyone she met feel extraordinary. Whether through music,
fashion, travel, or simply a shared meal, Jural’s passions reflected a life lived with intention and joy.

Those who knew her will forever remember the “sprinkling” of clear stones she left behind—her personal signature and a gentle reminder to cherish the beauty of life and the enduring love of the Lord. Together, she and George created a life not only beautiful for themselves, but for everyone lucky enough to be part of their world.
