Known for her love of her family, faith, the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Twins, the card game of bridge, and her talent in the kitchen, Georgia was always seen as a loving homemaker who took pride in all she did. She never missed an opportunity to play cards, especially bridge.

Georgia loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and taught many of them how to play cribbage. Each of them always received a ten-dollar bill in every birthday card.
