Georgina Mary Seidler returned to her heavenly home at the age of 88 January 26th 2017. She was greeted by her husband Rod, her parents, and grandson J-R.

Georgina was born July 10th 1928 in Oakland, California. She grew up in Oakland with her three brothers Bill, Frank, and Bob in a home shared with her grandparents. As a teenager she enjoyed taking her brother Bob to the movies in downtown Oakland.

After high school she met the love of her life Rod. At that time she was working as a bookkeeper for Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, California. She would take the train across the bay bridge to work. In 1947 they were married and Georgina became a homemaker. Soon after they were blessed with their first of 5 children; Susan, Nicholas, Connie, Christopher, and Rand. During this time she began her walk with The Lord. Georgina enjoyed going to church and teaching Sunday school.

By 1968 they were living in Fremont, California and were still very involved with the church. As their children grew older Georgina and Rod found time to square dance, spend time with friends and continue the tradition of Sunday dinners.

In 1984, Rod and Georgina made the decision to move to Pine Grove, California. They purchased a home on 3 acres where they made many happy memories with their children and the many grandchildren.

Throughout her life Georgina was a devoted wife and mother. She always had so much love to give opening her home to many foster children. Being a strong woman and having a true love for nature, she remained in Pine Grove for many years after her husband passed away in 1991. Georgina loved to garden and take walks in the forest.

In 2007 she came back to the Bay Area and moved in with her son Rand where she spent the last 10 years of her life filling his house with love. By this time her family had grown to a total of 15 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Up until the end, her faith was strong and we shall all find comfort in knowing she is home and through Jesus Christ we will see her again.
