Georgia was the best sister God ever sent to earth. She took care of everyone around her. I will miss talking everyday and that happy laugh. Fly high and pain free dear Dolly love you sis. 🥰
Alice so sorry for your loss, prayers for your family
Love you Aunt Dolly ❤️.. Till we meet .. fly high and light up the sky !!. You left a legacy .. in you’re grand daughter Liz.. that will carry on for generations ❤️
My Aunt Dolly was the most caring sweet soul I have ever known. When I talked to her it was always ” how are you doing” or asking about someone else’s health. She never mentioned her poor health. She cared so very much for others. Glad I got to go visit her a couple years ago. I talked to her on the phone just 3 weeks ago, and the last words I heard her say were “I Love You Too”! Fly high Sweet Aunt, you will be dearly missed by many. ❤😇
I loved Georgia. She was up front and honest. She was the kind of friend you wanted. God bless Bill and her family.Rip dear girl.
Georgia and I played basketball for the Redheads in the early 60’s. She was tough on the court and I feel sure she was fighting to stay with her family. She is one of the few teammates that kept in touch with me. She is a true friend. We’ll see you when our expiration here. Your a very fine lady, Love you. Prayers for the family and friends.
A Sister Redhead
What a loss for your family. I haven’t seen Georgiana since I graduated high school, but because we played basketball together she was one of the people I remembered most. May God allow her to fly as high as she wants. I’m sure she will be missed by all who knew her.
Georgia was a great person. She was a kind and talented person. The All American Red Head family loved her dearly. Rip my friend.
