More Sad News - Jeff Brelsford
George William Brelsford VI
A service celebrating the life of Dr. George William (Jeff) Brelsford VI will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2009, at 11:30 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Aiken.
Dr. Jeff Brelsford, who was born June 7, 1950, in Bridgeton, N.J., to Patricia Murphy Brelsford and the late George W. Brelsford V, died Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009, at his childhood residence in Aiken. Jeff graduated from Aiken High School in 1968 and graduated from The Citadel as salutatorian with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry May 20, 1972. He continued his studies at the Medical University of South Carolina where he graduated in 1976 as a Doctor of Medicine. Jeff did his residency in family practice at the Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Ga., from 1976-79 where he was appointed chief resident. In July 1979, he established a private practice in Augusta and served the Humana Hospital in the Department of Family Medicine until 1991. He continued his service with the Department of Emergency Medicine at Ty Cobb Hospital, Hart County Hospital and Washington County Hospital until 1995. For the past 14 years he had resided in Rincon, Ga., initially serving the community as the medical director of Effingham Urgent Care Center through 2000. In July 2000 he established a private practice in Rincon and was asked to serve as chief of staff at the Effingham Hospital where he had served two concurrent terms beginning July 2005. In addition to serving the hospital, Jeff devoted his life to caring for others as a family practitioner in Rincon, Ga., until May 2009 when poor health forced him to discontinue his medical service to his beloved community.
Sister Jayme Brelsford Moyle and father George W. Brelsford V, predeceased Dr. Brelsford. He is survived by his mother Patricia of Aiken; sisters, Kathleen B. French of Great Falls, Va., Robin B. Landes of Boca Raton, Fla., and Debra B. Kinder of Columbia; nephews, Jim French III, David Kinder Jr. and Clif Kinder II; and nieces, Elizabeth Landes, Chandler French and Jessica McKinney.
Honorary pallbearers are Dr. Phillip Gaillard, Mr. Dallas Lee, Mr. Mason Sanders, Mr. Charlie Simmons, Mr. Michael Chesser, Mr. Tom Moore and Mr. Nicholas Rangos. The family will receive friends at a reception immediately following the service.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Mrs. Latrelle Andrews for her devoted service, support and friendship as Dr. Brelsford's office manager for the past nine years. In addition, the family would like to thank Regency Hospice, Especially Seniors, Dr. Leonard Browder Sr. and Dr. Leonard Browder Jr. for their expertise and kindness in meeting Jeff's needs throughout the final days of his illness.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the Dr. Jeff Brelsford Memorial Fund at Effingham Community Hospital, Attn: Administration, P.O. Box 386, Springfield, GA 31329.
