Born on December 14, 2016, at Northside Hospital, Georgia spent the first month of her life in the NICU at Scottish Rite Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, enduring many diagnostic tests and life-saving interventions while being cared for by a team of exceptional doctors and nurses. Upon coming home, her life continued to be shaped by medical complexities and around-the clock supportive care.
Her world was at times small and limited, but her life was big and full. She was blessed with a wonderful care team that included physicians from 18 different specialties, home-health nurses, therapists, and special education teachers. She loved the color purple, holding hands with people around her, going to the aquarium, and physical therapy at the pool. Georgia worked hard at everything she did despite her physical challenges and lived her life with a quiet grace and resilience. Her brave, patient, and gentle spirit was a blessing to all who knew her.
After a lifetime of perseverance she is fully at peace, resting in the arms of her Creator. She is survived by her parents, William and Kristen Rohde; brothers, Owen and Lincoln; maternal grandparents, Jim and Grace Killgore; paternal grandparents, Patrick and Jacque Rohde; maternal great grandmothers, Leslie Killgore and Eunice Rusche; aunt and uncle, Sarah and Daniel Roppoli; and cousin, Emmalyn.
