Bill and Georgia married and started their family during the depths of the Great Depression, followed by World War II. Georgia and Bill learned to be very resourceful with precious little food and material goods. Even so, they lovingly opened their home to their extended family. Georgia was ill for many years and unable to be very active was a voracious reader and developed knowledge and insights far beyond her formal education. She believed that a good education was essential for success; she pushed all of her children to achieve their best and was very proud of her children's achievements. Georgia will be missed and remembered with much love. Her family takes comfort in the knowledge that she is no longer suffering. She is dwelling in the House of the Lord.
