She graduated from Martelle Consolidated High School, Martelle, Iowa, in 1960. She attended the University of Northern Iowa, where she received her Master’s Degree. Every summer she also spent time in teacher’s workshops to further her education. Georgia was a High School Business Teacher in the Columbus Community School for 32 years, who loved teaching and trying to challenge her students. She was appointed Business Teacher of the year for the State of Iowa along with numerous other teaching acknowledgements.

Georgia was also an active member of the United Presbyterian Church and held many church offices, and volunteered her time in the region. She also did missionary work in Brazil. Georgia had many hobbies, including taking care of her beautiful flowers in her yard, and judging items and entering items in the Louisa County Fair where she received many ribbons.

Georgia was preceded in death by her parents, aunts and uncles.
