Georgia was a proud 1958 graduate of Bell High School in Gurdon. She later pursued her passion for helping others and completed the Manual Arts Community Practical Nursing Program in 1973. From 1986, she worked for the Arkansas State Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disability Services, serving faithfully at the Human Development Center for many years.
