Georgia grew up in the Wagoner area where she met her future husband, Darrell Carr. They were united in marriage on June 6, 1954. In the Spring of 1964 they moved their family to Overland Park, Kansas. Georgia was a homemaker while their three sons were young. She began working outside the home in the real estate field in 1972. She then pursued a career at Padgett Thompson, a business management firm where she retired as the Director of Scheduling.
Georgia believed in commitment and finishing what she started. Georgia started singing in the church choir at age 10 and continued to sing in the choir until her passing. Georgia loved the Lord and loved serving Him in her church. She was a dedicated volunteer at Lenexa Baptist Church until her illness prevented her from serving. She and Darrell made many life long friends at church and she will be missed.
Georgia was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan and held season tickets for 35 years. Darrell and Georgia enjoyed traveling throughout the US, Europe and the Middle East with family and friends. The family trips with her grandchildren will always be remembered.
