 Georgia was born on January 14, 1937, in Center Point, Arkansas, to George D. and Mary H. Boyd. She worked as a CPA, running a successful tax planning/preparation business out of her home office in Houston, Texas prior to retiring and moving to Hilltop Lakes. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend.

She was preceded in death by her parents, beloved husband Willie M. Rhodes, her daughter Christa Rhodes Taylor, and a grandson Stuart Rhodes. 

Georgia was affectionately known as “Nani” to her grandchildren. She was also dearly known as “Georgia Pearl” to some of her sweetest friends.

Georgia is survived by her sister Doris Castlebury; daughter Rebecca Sprang; son and daughter-in-law Mike & Debbie Rhodes; daughter and son-in-law Deborah & Thomas Dowdy; grandchildren Tammy Skaggs, Will Rhodes, Andrea Mondello, Max Taylor, Rex Taylor, Sarah Speed, Nikki Kessling, Tommy Dowdy, Frank Dowdy; great-grandchildren Shelby Moyer, Cody Sims, Madison Mondello, Dominque Taylor, Christian Mondello, Gabriella Taylor, Olivia Taylor, John Speed, Elena Speed, Isabella Taylor, Waylon Rhodes, Miles Kessling, Ivy Kessling, Lily Kessling; and great-great granddaughter McKenzie Moyer.

 As we mourn, we are comforted knowing she is now with our loving Lord and reunited with her loving husband, together again for eternity. As we gather to celebrate her life, there are countless memories of vacations, camping trips, birthday parties, halloween parties, pool/bbq parties, beach trips, family Thanksgivings and Christmas gatherings. She loved having a home filled with family and friends no matter the occasion. So many cherished memories to reflect on and smile knowing they all began because of the love that our mother and father, “Nani & PaPa,” had for our family. She will be deeply missed but forever in our hearts.
