In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Clyde and Effie Merriman, and Sarah and Charles Vogler. She is survived by her wonderful and supportive siblings, Ruth (Chuck) Cote, Carol (Joe) Pisano, Sandra Blake, and Robert (Julie) Merriman, children: Debra (Michael) Pless, Wendy (Pete) Giannetti, Sharon (William) Bibby, Laurie (Scott) Hiltz, Stepson Robert (Mary) Wickline; and grandchildren: Jordan (Heidi) Giannetti, Veronica (Thomas) Mollick, Jonathan (Alayna) Hiltz, Brandon (Jaime) Ankney, Patrick (Danielle) Giannetti, Jessica (Chad) Hupp, Cameron (Amanda) Hiltz, Caitlin (Bret) Nemeth, Chelsea (Jameson) Staley; step grandchildren: Michael (Kaylee) & Daniel (Erica) Wickline, William (Jenna) Bibby, Cami (Matthew) Dineen, David Bibby, and twenty-six great grandchildren.

Georgia was a graduate of New Brighton High School and worked most of her life well into her seventies. She worked for the Area Agency on Aging, International Titanium, Mom’s Pies, Passavant Memorial Homes in Rochester, and the Senior Employment program of Lawrence County.

She was a member of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church, Alliance Women, 5th Avenue Methodist Church, Methodist Women, and New Brighton Christian Women.

Georgia was a member of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, in conjunction with Professional Outfitters, to provide free children’s clothing to the community and volunteering for the New Brighton Soup Kitchen and other services as needed. She was the leader of a Cottage Bible Study in various homes with wonderful Christian friends whom she loved. Her hobbies were reading, solving crossword puzzles, quilting, and playing cards.

Although the Lord was her first love, her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were her reason for living.

She will be missed by her dear friends at Dawes Manor.
