My heart goes out to all of Georgia’s family, and especially the Traub kids. She was the last of our parents in this neighborhood. I enjoyed our visits- she held my hand as if she didn’t want to let go. The good part of us losing Georgia is that now Francis has her with him, the way they always were. Hugs

So very sorry to hear of Georgia’s passing. She often sat at the supper table with my parents and I when my dad was in the nursing home. I always enjoyed visiting with her.

Georgie will be so missed. Loved our talks and doing crafts and listening to music with her at the Manor. So sorry I will miss her services, but will be there in my heart. Sympathies sent to her whole family.
Laura Lee Ullrich says
My deepest sympathy to all of Georgia’s family. She was so fun and like all of her siblings and children, a wonderful,person. One day I was visiting the Manor and she waved at me across the dining room, and motioned me to join her. I made my way to her table and I was sure she knew me, until I told her how nice she looked, and she looked at me and said, “ you look pretty good too for being in here now!” And we both laughed! I will miss her. Prayers for all of her family.
Gary Richards says
So pleasant all the time. Not unlike all of her siblings.
Sorry we are not able to attend the service. Will miss seeing everyone. God bless.
