She married Butch in the Basilica Notre Dame in Ottawa in the early 1940s.They moved to the Boston area in the early 1950s and lived in Arlington the rest of their lives. Butch and Georgette were parishioners at St. Jerome Catholic Church in Arlington.
She worked as a nurse at Harvard and later as an operating room nurse at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge. She once helped deliver a baby who was a princess in Thailand. The grateful parents gave her a lovely Thai statue and Butch made a lamp of it.
When she retired from Mt. Auburn, she worked as a supervisor at a nursing facility in Cambridge. She was nearly 85 when she fully retired. Georgette was loved by her neighbors.

A message from her niece, Cecile:
Saying goodbye is not easy, but I know Aunt Georgette is in a better place. She made a profound impact on my life. She was one of a kind, so giving and so thoughtful, always wanting to please everyone. Finally she is reunited with her loving Butch who adored her. Aunt Georgette, you will live forever in our hearts. Rest in peace. Je vous aime.
