Georgia loved music, she loved to sing and did so under the anointing. Her strong voice would fill any room, no microphone needed. She also played many instruments, her favorite instruments were the piano, drums, guitar and bass. She loved to fish and run jugs. Her smile was huge as she would drag a big one onto the boat and say, "Would you look at that!" She owned several boats and was known to say, "The best day of owning a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. She loved jewelry and the bigger the better, she would laugh when teased about her big jewelry and say, "It cost a lot to look this cheap!" She was a fabulous, successful salesperson and it was said she could sell ice to Eskimos. Most of all she loved her family and being with them. She was a prayer warrior and many times could be found on her knees praying. Her strong voice would carry throughout the house as she called out the names of those she was praying for. She loved the Lord with all her heart. Her #1 goal was to make heaven her home.
