Georgiana "Georgie" Ricker (b. Sampson) (1842-1919) was born in Kingston, Massachusetts, and died in Washington, District of Columbia. She married George E. Ricker, a homeopathic physician, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1866. Ricker was a student of Mary Baker Eddy, completing the Primary class along with her husband in November 1885. Although her husband continued to study with Eddy and became involved in Christian Science, it does not appear that Ricker did. George appears to have left the Christian Science movement in 1888, devising his own mental healing system and establishing a New Thought church with Emma Gray, another student of Eddy. By 1900 the family was living in Washington, D.C.
