Cedar - Georgetta Galla, 83 of Cedar entered into Eternal Life with her family by her side on March 19, 2024. She had been residing at the Pavilions.

Georgetta was born on January 28, 1941 in Saginaw to the late Edward and Florence (Phillips) Nowlin.

While working on a cherry farm one summer, she was noticed by a handsome young man by the name of Tony Galla. He spotted her beautiful copper colored hair and the rest as they say is history. They knew after their second date that it was meant to be. The two married on October 17, 1959. Over the years they welcomed five children into their family. Georgetta loved being a mom, grandma and great grandma. She loved to crochet and made all of her grandkids an Afghan for graduation.

Georgetta also was a gifted hair stylist. She owned and operated Hair Styling by GG for 25 years.

Faith was also very important to Georgetta. They were members at Holy Rosary since the early 60’s and she enjoyed membership in the Rosary Society, singing in the choir and loved helping with the decorations.

She also worked in the pie room for the annual chicken dinner for over 40 years.

She also enjoyed her birds and was famous for her pumpkin roll ups. She will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Tony; their son Ron and her brothers Ed and Hollis.

She is survived by her son David (Pam) Galla; daughters Donna (Gene) Peterson, Bonnie Schwartz and Jeanette (Rick) Theisen; daughter-in-law Angie Galla; 23 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and one on the way, and many nieces and nephews.
