She grew up with the joy of country living and family. Georgia was one of eleven children. Her childhood home was in Wortham, Texas where she met Fain Carroll, Jr. "the love of her life" and they married on December 23, 1953, in Waco, Texas. They made their home in Mexia, Texas and were married 70 years. Together they built a beautiful life full of love, laughter, simple pleasures, six children and togetherness.

Georgia was a God loving, hard working wife, mother, Granny, aunt and friend. On, how she loved her children and family, unconditionally. She loved all people. Sitting on the front porch was one of her special places. She loved traveling, garage sales, gardening, sewing, cooking and caring for others. When she was younger, she sewed for her own children and later all her young grandchildren. She loved planting flowers tending the garden, going to church, as well as music, singing and dancing. The most joy came from family gatherings, visits and garage sales with her sister Bettye. 

Her love for the Lord guided her life.
