Georgianna was born January 8, 1949 in Winnsboro, Louisiana and went to be with the Lord on October 22, 2020. Her parents were Carey Scott ONeal from Rayville, Louisiana, and Lena Mae Ferguson ONeal from Akron, Ohio.
Georgie, as those of us who knew her best called her, was a beautiful child, and grew into the beautiful lady we all knew and loved. Georgie lived with her maternal grandmother, Mona Ferrington, and George Ferrington in Winnsboro until her graduation from Winnsboro High School in 1967, where she moved to Monroe, LA to attend Northeast Louisiana State College, a/k/a The University of Louisiana at Monroe. Shortly after starting school, Georgianna took a job with State Farm Insurance who moved their regional headquarters to Monroe, where she worked for approximately two years. Then Braniff Airlines started up and Georgie went off to fly around the world as a flight attendant for roughly 17 years. After living in the Dallas area for several years, she moved back to Louisiana, settling near her mother and step-father Roy Lemoine in Monroe, Louisiana.

She was a devoted wife to Donnie and loved her numerous canine pets through the years.
