Georgia Neta passed away peacefully on the evening of Oct. 4, 2018. She was born July 1, 1929 to Alfred Baily Black and Rosa Mae Dyson Black in Kerrville. She accepted Jesus Christ as her savior at 9 years old at the Gloryland Pentecostal Church in Kerrville, and was baptized in the Guadalupe River. Her family later moved to San Antonio where she spent her formative years, becoming fluent in Spanish and graduating from Edgewood High School. Later she moved to the SE Houston area, where she began a long and interesting career with Southwestern Bell, eventually retiring from the phone company. She spent her later years in Teague with many friends and family members in the area. Georgia will always be remembered as hardworking and very responsible, raising three sons Harold Pruitt, James Pruitt and Gerald Pruitt, all of whom carry her penchant for hard work and responsibility.
