She moved out to CT and was employed as a domestic worker for several families. She married William Albert Walker in the 1940s but the marriage ended in the 1950’s. In 1971 she proudly purchased her home in New Canaan,, where she lived for her remaining years. Georgia was an active member of the New Canaan Community Baptist Church, loved singing in the choir and was honored as the Oldest Missionary of the church. She was known for her plucky sense of humor, her sound head for business and her willingness to work hard at any endeavor. She leaves behind her nephew Jimmy Williams, of Union South Carolina, his daughter Anitra Mims, and many nieces and nephews, as well as longstanding friends. Georgia deeply appreciated the concern and care provided to her in the last few years of her life by Jeff Holland, who oversaw her every need.
