Georgette lived her life for her husband and children, and her hobbies, whether it was traveling, shopping, dining or entertaining, were always centered around them. Through cooking she demonstrated love and her endless hospitality.
Georgette was a leader and advisor to her family, friends and community, and was admired for her humor, strength, compassion and devotion. She viewed her greatest accomplishments as the professional and familial successes of her children. Those who were blessed to be a part of her life witnessed an unparalleled generosity uniquely coupled with a quiet elegance. She was an inspiration to everyone around her, and will be greatly missed and always remembered.
