Georgia B. Clardy

Georgia B. Clardy, 80, passed away Monday, November 11, 2013. She was born March 11, 1933, in Porterville, Mississippi, the daughter of the late George and Mary Presswood. Georgia confessed to Christ at an early age. She spent most of her life in the Des Moines area and was employed by the Taylon Nursing Home.
