Georgia and Maynard were great neighbors. She will be greatly missed and remembered by many. Me and my siblings rode to Sunday School almost every Sunday with them. Summers I remember the neighborhood getting together for cake and homemade ice cream for all the summer birthdays. Georgia was always the first on there is you ever needed a helping hand or an ear to talk to. I have missed meeting her in the store and catching up these last few years. She always had a smile and kind word no matter what. Very special lady. God got a wonderful, caring angel. RIP Georgia I think of you often and thoughts and prayer go to the family for your loss.
