I Just loved that Georgette . I Loved our Thursday Night Group and we would talk about everything and if she didn’t like something she would let you know. Really going to miss her 😔😔😔

I didn’t meet Georgette until later in life, but found out that she was a “trip”!! Sometimes the look in her eyes said a thousand words ( MANY of them cannot be repeated 🙂 and her sense of humor made you laugh long after those words were said! Go in Peace Georgette! Meet my Joey in Heaven

God bless Ms. Georgette. She was a one of a kind human being, full of love, kindness and laughter. Everyday after training during the Police Academy, I would go with Timmy to the house and she fed me, everyday. I will not forget the kindness and warmness she showed me. She will be missed and always loved.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Georgette. My heart aches for the family during this time of loss. I know my mom Irene will truly miss their friendship and talks they had often. May the family and friends find strength and solace in the memories you shared together.

There are not enough words to break through the sadness my heart is feeling. We shared so many memories together since High School and through the decades we had so many experiences we spoke of often, with laughter and tears. She loved her family and you could hear the pride in her voice when she spoke of all of them. So many memories and stories she can tell the Angels. Georgette will always be truly missed.

My condolences to the family and to my best friend Richard Raiczyk. As young teens I remember Georgette giving Rich and I rides to the Cherry Hill Mall so we could hang out. She was always our go-to ride. I also remember Georgette listening to Bob Dylan records with her friend trying to figure out what Bob's songs meant. Good times and good memories. Enjoy heaven Georgette.

There a million things that could be said about Grandmom. She would always say it how she saw it and was never scared to voice what she thought. Will always cherish everything you taught us and helping form all of the grandkids into adults. Love you forever, your baby boy

Jacky Hilliard

The wonderful memories we made as cousins, what a tribe, will always include "Georgie". Dancing in her basement, Christmas and Easter traditions, weddings, babies, cookouts, we had an extraordinary family. Unfortunately time, our own families and miles affected our adult visits but we were always able to pickup where we left off. Joe and I send our deepest condolences to Richard and all the boys and their family. God bless Georgie. Jacky and Joe Hilliard

  1. Gary and Patti Raiczyk send our heartfelt condolences to Georgette’s brother Richard and to her children and grandchildren. Although we have been in Texas for 30 years, we did get to visit with Georgette and her family on several family occasions. While growing up in New Jersey, I always looked forward to seeing all of the relatives at Christmas, Easter and other family get-togethers, and always respected her insight. We will all miss her.

  2. Georgette looks so happy in this picture! Beautiful memory. We loved watching Georgette interact with her Grandchildren. It was obvious she loved them dearly. Her Grandsons understood her sense of humor and they had fun talking to her in her unique direct style. She adored her Granddaughter for sure. We’ll miss you dearly Georgette.
    …until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand…”
    With love,
