Georgian was born April 21, 1943 in Logan, Utah and spent the first several years of her life in Paradise, Utah. Growing up in a rural community, she learned the value of hard work from her parents and followed in her mother’s footsteps cooking delicious meals for her family. She was meticulously clean and her home was always spotless. Her strong work ethic prepared her to provide love and service to her family and Savior. She loved her family with all of her heart and most activities were centered around being together. She also loves native American peoples due to spending two years at the Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City where her dad taught. Georgian was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a strong testimony of the Savior and served Him in a variety of callings in Relief Society, Primary and Young Women’s. She served alongside her loving husband of 58 years, as a part-time missionary to teenagers at Weber Valley Youth Center and as a full time missionary to the Cambodian people in Long Beach, California and to the people of the Legacy Park Stake in Syracuse, Utah. She was a true disciple of Jesus Christ and always ministered to others.
