Georgia was the youngest of 6 children. She grew up and married her childhood friend, Roy Clanton. They raised their 4 children in their home in Irving, TX. Georgia loved traveling and going to the casinos. Georgia loved her family and was there in a moments notice in their time of need. She spent her life caring for children in her home. This is where she became known as Nanny. Her family loved her cooking and will miss her dressing, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and tacos. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren loved her dearly. Her face lit up even on her final days when they entered her room. She loved us all as her own. Her life should not be measured by the possessions she held, but by the number of lives she touched. Georgia will be missed by many and she will always be Nanny to us.
