Georgia and Alex met attending grade 12 classes in Winnipeg.  For work she really enjoyed nursing and bus driving because she loved meeting new people.  In later years, Georgia drove courier to keep busy, while still enjoying meeting new people.  She enjoyed all sports, especially curling.  Georgia also like Barbara Ann Scotts figure skating, she tried it, but it didn’t work out.  She was very active in the sports community, starting a broomball league in Gillam, MB.  She also bowled in Gillam, MB, Brandon, MB, and in Alberta.  Georgia also curled in Gillam, where she curled with highly skilled women.
