Georgianna was an active member of Victory Baptist Church.  She loved the Lord and truly believed in Heaven.  Family get togethers, spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren were especially important to her.  She and Philip renewed their vows for their 50th Anniversary.  Her family and faith were her greatest joys in life. When her sister Nancy died in 1981, Georgianna happily accepted her three young daughters and selflessly raised them.  They are her three nieces, Dawn Kahakina, Caolinga, Calif., Misty Wren, Blue Rapids, Kan., and Heather DePriest, Ft.
