Georgia was born to William Mark and LeEttia Belle Rhoades Price in Council Bluffs, IA on November 10, 1935. She passed away on April 5, 2023 at home from causes associated with AML, in Porterville Utah.

Georgia married Gerald Mikesell on November 18, 1953 in Morgan, Utah. She was baptized into the LDS faith at the age of 18 by her husband Gerald. Their marriage was later solemnized in the LDS Salt Lake Temple on June 2, 1965. They had been married for 63 years at the time of Gerald’s passing.

She loved making donuts, cooking, crochet, plastic canvas, jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles of any kind, and decorating cakes of all types. She hand made items and baked many goodies for family and friends. Her specialty was her red velvet cake and shrimp dip. Her love was fishing, camping, family dinners, and feeding anyone who walked through the door and was hungry.
