My wonderful memories of Georgia go back to when we were youngsters. We grew up together, went to Sunday school together & were part of a very close knit group of ten girls in high school. Slumber parties with the yellow bowl! She was loved by many friends & family & our circle has a definite void in it. But I am so thankful that we were a part of each other's life & my memories of a great friend will be with me always. Thoughts & prayers to all the family. Mary Lou Callin

In our circle of 10 girl`s we each had a number. Georgia was number 6 and I was number 4, how do I know? That is what she wrote in my 1955 year book,while sitting at the Jayaness. The F.E.S.P.K`.S had many wonderful parties, weddings and yes, even funerals, but we will always have each other in our hearts.My sympathy and prayers go out to Jim and the family.
Love to you all

One day 30+ years ago, we met this wonderful lady.
We continued our friendship with lots of laughs & get togethers starting @ Goose Lake with our families to The "Wolf Lake Resort" and their present home in Stoughton.
We had the best bluegill fish fries---not to mention all the yummy canned food she made & shared.
We will never forget these memories and will always hold them deep in our heart!
Georgia, we love you and will miss you always!
Love & Hugs, Lani & The Man

I haven't known Georgia and Jim very long but we moved to Stoughton about the same time and, being neighbors, I quickly found them to be friendly, happy and caring. Please know that having lost my husband and Mom, I share your sadness. I know that you will treasure and hold dear all your memories of her.
