On February 28, 1942, she married Benjamin "Harry" Norris. Harry was in the service so the couple lived in various towns before making Enid their home. In 1950, the couple moved to Ames where they farmed until Harry retired. Georgia was an excellent homemaker in addition to volunteering for numerous organizations, including FFA and 4H.  She also worked at the Major County Election Board.

Norris of Collinsville, OK; Jacque and Doug Hart of Ponca City; Susan and Craig Bymaster of Enid; Danny J. and wife, Angi Norris of Green River, Wyoming; two stepchildren, Bert Gritz and Beth Hale and husband, Ron; sixteen grandchildren; thirty-three great-grandchildren and ten great great-grandchildren.
