At the age of 2, she moved with her family to Danbury, Texas, and continued to live in the Angleton-Danbury area for 83 years. Georgia was married to Arthur Clinton Weldon until his sudden death in 1985. Together they had two children, Cathy Weldon Faires and Tina Weldon Butler. Georgia worked closely with Arthur in his home-building business and took great pride in designing interiors for new homes. Also, Georgia was a gifted seamstress, designing and sewing most of her daughters' clothes, including elaborate bridal gowns. In 1992, she married long-time friend, Ross Wood, and they enjoyed 15 years together until his death in 2007. Traveling, playing dominoes, camping and fishing at Somerville were part of their fun-filled days.

She also played an active role with her daughters in Girls' Auxiliary. Georgia's closest friends were members of the church's Friendship Class, and she looked forward to class meetings and after-church lunches with "the girls."
