Service Details
Georgia was born on January 15, 1941 in Des Moines, Iowa to Samuel E. and Virginia E. [Vernon] Dings. She lived in Ft. Worth, Texas for the first four years and then her family moved back to Iowa. She grew up in the Johnston area and attended Johnston High School.
She married Robert E. Tully and they had four children. She was with Robert V. Tully for two years and they had one son. In 1975, she became an L.P.N. and returned to school in 1980 to become an R.N. Georgia worked at Broadlawns Medical Center for 28 years and retired in 2003. She loved being a nurse and made many friends. She always said she wanted to be the CEO, but didn’t have the energy to go back to school after raising five kids mostly by herself.
In 1980, she married Elias “Leo” Ochoa and that marriage lasted for three years but her love for Leo lasted for the rest of her life. Georgia accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and was a member of Berean Assembly of God church, then Mitchellville Assembly of God. Later, she found a church home at Bethany New Life Christian Fellowship. She loved her God and the friendship of many people in her church. She looked forward to being with Jesus in heaven.

Cassie and James, and the whole family of Georgia. She loved all of you so much she spoke about you often. She was my best friend and I will miss her so much. She was like my second mother. I know she isn't in pain anymore and has no more worries. I will always treasure my time and memories with her. I know there is going to be a big void for you with her gone but fill those times with thoughts and memories of her and that will help. If there is anything I can do for you just let me know. I pray God's peace and strength for you.
