Great grandchildren, Ryleigh Kate Johnson, Dalton Johnson, and Kian Hawkins. To these she was a Mom, A Grandmother, A Memaw, A Gigi, and sometimes a Nog!!

Georgia was an active member of her community. The thing she was most proud of was her service and dedication to First Baptist Church. She exemplified her faith in so many ways. She served as a deacon more than once, served on numerous committees, which she gladly did, assisted her husband with Sunday School and was a member of the choir for forty years. She was a member of The Reidsville Junior Service League, Womens Garden Club and was a volunteer at Annie Penn Hospital. She was a wonderful cook and taught her two daughters well. She also loved to travel, play golf back in the day, knit and do needlepoint. Up until she fell ill, she still loved to jitterbug with anyone up for a challenge.

A private funeral service will be held followed by entombment. The family will see friends at the home 2206 St. James Drive from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM on Monday February 4, 2019. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to have donations made to The Hospice Home of Rockingham County P.O. Box 281 Wentworth, NC 27375.

The family would like to thank her caregivers Erica and Colleen.

She will be greatly missed by those who knew her, but not as much as her beloved family.
