She loved spending time with her family, especially her sisters and great-grandson. She enjoyed being with her neighbors and working in their yards. Georgia was a very spiritual soul. She loved all things nature, including making art and giving back to nature. Her ability to surround herself and others with healing energy was one of her strengths. She is loved and will be deeply missed by all.
