She considered it an honor to care for US military personnel who sacrificially served their country. Her medical knowledge and dedication to the profession has inspired two more generations of nurses to follow in her footsteps Directly after retirement, she joined a parish nursing outreach program spearheaded at her local church. Over the next decade, she and her team of retired nurses visited elderly shut-ins in need of encouragement.Georgia was artistic and loved creative pursuits (i.e., painting, sketching, embroidery, crocheting, and knitting).
