Georgia was united in marriage to Daniel Hagedorn on October 10, 1986. They had their first child one year later and named him Dennis Lee. During this time, Georgia worked as a contractor for GTE until the birth of their second child, Clinton Michael, in May of 1990. Shortly after, she enrolled at Carlson College of Massage Therapy in Stone City, Iowa to become a massage therapist. She then started her own business until meeting Steve and Marybeth Fenske, with whom she became business partners with and created Expressions Salon and Day Spa in Grinnell. She had a successful business until being diagnosed with brain cancer in the summer of 2000. After recovering from her first surgery, she went back to work until being rediagnosed in 2003. She then proudly raised her two sons while battling her disease for six more years. She was a constant support to her family and always put their accomplishments before herself. She was ecstatic when Jacqueline became a member of her family in May of 2009 and enjoyed being a part of the wedding. She was able to spend her last days at home, surrounded by the love of her family.
