Trina Lynn Gardner George

The staff at Heishman Funeral Home, Inc., send condolences to the family of Trina Lynn George. Surrounded by loved ones, Trina Lynn (Gardner) George, 53, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026 in her home in Woodstock, Virginia. Trina was born on May 16, 1972, in Woodstock, Virginia, to the late Regina “Gina” Gardner Bright. Trina was the cherished granddaughter of the late Bessie McGrady of Strasburg and the late Ann Rebecca “Becky” Gardner of Woodstock. She was the beloved daughter of Larry Bright (Abby) of Strasburg. Surviving Trina are her husband of 21 years, David George; son Ethan, a student at Virginia Tech, and daughter Hayley, a student at James Madison University. Also surviving are two sisters, Kim Walker (Jody, Peyton, Sophia) of Richmond and Wendy Williams (Tim, Taylor) of Strasburg. In addition, Trina leaves dozens of members of her extended Gardner and George families plus many friends and colleagues. Trina was a proud graduate of Central High School and continued her education at Lord Fairfax Community College (Laurel Ridge Community College). She built a distinguished career in banking and financial services, dedicating over 30 years to the industry. Most recently, Trina served as the F&M Bank Branch Manager at both the Woodstock and Edinburg locations, always leading with kindness, integrity, and professionalism. In early 2025, she received the honor as F & M’s 2024 Branch Manager of the Year, one of several such awards she received throughout her career. Trina was a thoughtful and compassionate wife and mother whose life was defined by love, creativity, a strong work ethic, devotion to family, and loyalty in many friendships. She enjoyed cooking, canning, and meals with her family, vacations in the Caribbean and Outer Banks, and kayak trips on the Shenandoah. She loved “her” mountains and life in Shenandoah County. Trina possessed a keen eye for detail, color, and design. Her creative energy and passion for Americana and folk-art added personality and warmth to every corner of her home and her office. She was a vivacious and personable woman with a welcoming heart, a woman who never met a stranger and who was always ready to offer a helping hand. A celebration of Trina’s life will be held in the spring. The venue and date are yet to be determined. The family extends the greatest appreciation to Tammy Cooper and Blue Ridge Hospice for their devoted and responsive care. Both of Trina’s children were very active in the music programs at Central High School and Trina served as the organization’s treasurer for many years. For this reason, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to CHS, Attn: Falcon Music Boosters, 1147 Susan Ave., Woodstock, VA 22664.
