Georgia was a longtime member of Canton Baptist Temple. Georgia enjoyed golfing, singing, crocheting, dancing, and most of all being with her family. Although she had dementia, she could always quote her life's verse: Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." She was a faithful witness, encourager, and always would say "God bless you" to everyone. She was dearly loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed.
