Meet Georgia Hart, Resident of the Month Georgia Hart was born Oct. 6, 1936, to Raymond and Grace Albright in Auburn, Ind. Raymond worked as a molder in a foundry for many years. While he worked, Georgia’s mother stayed home to raise Georgia and her four siblings: June, Jack, Edna, and Maxine. Geor- gia grew up in Auburn where she went to school and met her husband. After school, she and her friends would regularly go to a booth at a local restaurant to hang out and share a coke. One afternoon Harold, her would be husband, walked in and sat at the counter. He sent the waitress over to Georgia to ask her out to the movies with him that evening, but she promptly said no because he was a stranger. She went to the movies that night with her friends and Harold showed up. They got to know each other, and afterwards, he and her friends walked her home. The couple were married April 16, 1955, at the Church of Christ in Auburn. Geor- gia worked for 20 years as a cook at Community Memorial Hospital in Hicksville, Ohio. Hicksville was only 17 miles from Auburn, so she was friends with the other cooks, nurses, and doctors at the facility. While she worked there, Harold worked in different factories in the area. Together they raised three daughters Teresa, Kath- leen, and Julia. Georgia currently has 12 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Through the years her favorite things to do included spending time with family and at work with her friends, as family is the most important thing in her life. Grow- ing up, she enjoyed playing games with her neighborhood friends including hide and seek, bat and ball, and making up their own games outside. On the weekends she would go to the movies to watch Westerns and Musicals. Currently her favorite activ- ities include Sudoku, word puzzles, walking outside and reading. Georgia came to Parkview in July of 2018. When asked her favorite part of living here, she said enjoys the connections made between residents and staff. She also wants everyone to know that, “If you have problems, just trust in God.” Congratulations, Georgia, on being chosen as the Parkview Health Care Facility’s Resident of the Month!
