Georgia Mary Strahan House

Georgia was born in Falls County, TX to Joseph Alexander (JA) and Dovie Cordelia Conely Strahan on January 8, 1931. After her mothers’ passing in 1938, Georgia and her brother Nolan entered the state orphanage in Corsicana, TX. While there, Georgia met her life-long friend, Frieda White. Georgia and Nolan left the orphanage about 5 years later and returned to their father and step-mother. Later she spent time with the Coleman and Bell families. They made a significant impact in her life. She graduated from Waco High School, in Waco, TX, in 1949. She met Cecil House through friends and they arranged a date for the next week. However, Cecil was deployed to Korea and they corresponded by mail until his return in April 1951. They married October 26, 1951. On August 10, 1952, they welcomed home a baby girl, Celia Georgeanne House. Their home was the hub of their families. They always had family over, playing dominos and drinking coffee. Besides her family and dominos, she loved to read, sew, and grow African Violets. She will be missed greatly by the ones who knew and loved her.
