Georgia was a supervisor for Uniroyal in Washington, Indiana, where she retired after over 40 years of service. She often shared her wonderful memories of her “group of gals” that were her team at Uniroyal.

She enjoyed the time spent relaxing at their family get away spot at White River for many years. She enjoyed cooking, spending time with friends and family and traveling. Her wonderful smile and laugh were enjoyed by many and will remain a memory.

She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Harold V. Kleiser of Jasper; one brother, Richard Cresgy and wife Linda of Shoals; nieces and nephews.

While they were not blessed with biological children, Harold and Georgia were a second set of parents to many nieces and nephews, and friends.
