Georgia, also known as Winnie to her siblings, was a homemaker.

She grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi and she met and married her husband Archie A. (Red) Lord and they shared 67 years of marriage together.

Georgia loved to cook, she would make cakes, pies, homemade candy and take to friends and relatives as appreciation for their help and thoughtfulness.
