Georgia was born and raised in Abbeville, South Carolina to the late Sanders and Louise Lomax Hazzard. From this union, seven children were born, and Georgia was a middle child. She was a strong, supportive, and caring daughter and sibling who continuously expressed love for her family. For example, she never forgot anyone’s birthday, and always ensured that connections were made on holidays and special occasions.

Georgia was educated in the Abbeville County School District, and she received her high school diploma from J. S. Wright High School in 1966. She was active in numerous school activities, and she especially loved Spanish and her involvement in the Spanish Club. Georgia was a lifelong learner, and she continued her education while she was working full-time at General Electric. With this education, she became a Homeopathic Doctor. Georgia had a passion for health and well-being long before this became popular. She truly believed in holistic treatments, integrative medicine, and a healthy lifestyle.

Georgia was always a hard worker. She had many babysitting and domestic-type jobs when she was a teenager. Then after her move to Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1960s, she began a long career at General Electric where she worked for over 40 years. Georgia loved her work at GE, and she had no problem with working long hours to demonstrate this commitment. She also thoroughly enjoyed her work in homeopathic medicine, where she taught classes and provided direct services at a number of clinics in the Ohio area.

Georgia was first married to Thomas Eugene Harris, Sr. This union produced one son, Thomas Eugene Harris, Jr. She was later married to Henry Dale Parker, and they had one son, Terenz Parker. These two sons were the love of Georgia’s life. She instilled in them the values of family, hard work, and discipline. Both of her spouses preceded her in death.

Georgia had many hobbies that she enjoyed, which included bowling, shopping, engaging in “deep” conversations, and, of course, having fun. She also liked to “dress to the nines” and always truly presented herself as an amazing “diva.” Her style and grace were both uncanny.

Georgia leaves to cherish her loving memories her two sons, her grandchildren, five siblings, uncle and aunt, and numerous cousins, and in-laws. After a life well lived, God welcomed her home from labor to reward. However, her legacy lives on with her family and all those whom she touched over the years.
