Georgia grew up in Washington, Georgia and was a graduate of Washington High School and furthered her education at a business college, which led her to working for State Senator Blalock in Atlanta.

Her life was a testament to her loving nature and her unwavering faith. She was a devoted member of Smyrna Community Church, where she was actively involved in Sunday School and various church activities. Her Christian faith was the cornerstone of her existence, guiding her through life's challenges and joys. Georgia's life was marked by her passion for traveling, cooking, and reading, especially her Bible.

Georgia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas Lamar Fletcher Sr., her brother, Tommy Garrett, and her brother-in-law, Dr. Alton Sheffield. Georgia's final years were comforted by the exceptional care provided by her caretakers, Annie Neeley and Paul Cullars, as well as the staff at Southern Manor Senior Living and The Wilkinson Center in Toccoa.
