Gender Female Death 13 Apr 2014 Black Hawk County, Iowa Notes - Georgia was born April 14, 1926, in Otranto to Archie and Gwendolyn (Wilder) Pike. She married Leon H. Lindley on Sept. 8, 1943, in Bethany Mo. Georgia, in her youth, loved playing basketball and was proud of winning spelling bees. Georgia raised six children. She doctored them when they were sick or hurt with skill and kindness. She brought her children up in the church and held devotions in the home. Georgia was a voracious reader and faithful correspondent signing cards or letters with "Love and Prayers." She was very proud of her work as a nurse's aid - especially at the Osage hospital where she took care of the newborns.
