Georgie had made a profession of faith in Christ many years ago and was of the Pentecostal/Full Gospel faith. In her spare time, she was a nurturer of lost dogs and cats, a worry wart of her children and grandchildren and loved to play gospel music on her guitar. Georgie was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and a caring neighbor and friend.
