I fondly remember Georgette. She was a Great neighbor, and I know she is with Jerry. I will remember our time serving on the board, and how we enjoyed that time together. She was an inspiration to me, and I am so sadden by her passing. My thoughts are with the children at this time. TED BEHNKEN

Jason, I so enjoyed my chance meeting with your mother, summer ‘21, at Fremont Auto Body. We had not seen one another since senior year high school. Your grandfather Gene, and my father Bill, worked together laying carpet in Tiffin.
So very sorry for your loss.
Rest in heaven G!

The day you passed you sent me a text telling me you were thinking of me because I was supposed to have surgery. The most beautiful selfless woman I have ever met. The past 14 years of my life with you in it have been everything to me. You always told me what I needed to hear and you never stopped loving me, even when I wasn’t so lovable. You opened your heart to Jacie and she sure loves her nana. Anytime I was sick, you were at the hospital and bringing me whatever I needed. I don’t even know how to do life without you. You were who I called for everything. I take comfort knowing you are with Jerry dancing to Bob or Barry and finally back with the love of your life. I will forever miss you both. The girls and I love you so much. I am so thankful for all of the memories I had with you. All of the long conversations, the get togethers over the years, you buying jacie her first bike… All of the memories I will forever cherish. You were too good for this is earth. I hope I am half of the woman you were. I love you so much.

We were neighbors when our ‘children’ were small. The Elm Drive Bunch.
Georgette was such a sweet person.
While We did not keep in touch in recent years, but the memories of her in my scrapbook of memories will always be special.
My sincere sympathies to the family.

We are deeply saddened by George’s passing. We knew George from Waggoner’s; we loved her. Everyone who knew George loved her. Our Mom always felt like she was another daughter. Her empathetic sweet nature made her lovable, plus she was wicked funny and loved a laugh!
She will be truly missed.

So many great memories hanging out with the Shiets family growing up. I don’t think I ever remember Georgette getting angry, always laughing and telling us how “goofy” we were. She was always full of positive energy and cared about everyones needs. My heart aches for your loss but I smile knowing she’s with big Jerr in a better place.

Dear Family of Georgette❤️
Her loss has left me speechless. She loved you all sooo much!
Loved wkg with her at Wagner’s in the 80’s- we had so much fun!
Our bunco group was even better with you in it.
All the times I stopped by your shop just to sit and talk you were always so willing to listen – talk about your kids and then always church.
God be with each of you and remember she is always with you❤️❤️❤️
