Georgette, daughter of Fred and Martha (Warnke) Kerzmann, was born November 7, 1918, in Blackwater Township where she was raised on the family farm. She attended elementary school in Blackwater and high school in Garrison. Georgette married Olaf Melvin Iverson on June 4, 1942.
Olaf and Georgette purchased a farm near Emmet, just across the road from Olaf's family farm. They dedicated their lives to farming in partnership with Olaf's father, Konrad Iverson and Olaf's brother, Edmund Iverson. Later their son, Melvin and Edmund's son, Larry, joined the operation, forming Iverson Farms. Three children, Sharon Ann, Linda Darlene and Melvin Leroy were born to Olaf and Georgette.
Having been born into a large family, Georgette shared the daily chores with her siblings but especially liked herding cattle and anything dealing with horses. She was active in the Roundtable Home Makers Club, The Lamplighters Senior Citizen's group, was a past president St. Anne's Altar Society, and a member of the Garrison Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
Georgette is survived by her daughters, Sharon (LeDell) Sandberg, Linda (Gary) Majeres, her son, Melvin (Judith Radspinner), a sister, Evelyn Knoepfle, three sisters-in-law, Frieda Johnson, Dorothy Keyes, Bella (Dan Morris) and a brother-in-law, Glen Karlson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Surviving grandchildren include Bonita (Sandberg) Schaeffer, Randall Sandberg, Donald Majeres, Andrew Majeres, Hillary Johnson, KC Iverson, and Kari Iverson. Great grandchildren include Garrett Schaeffer, Dylan Sanberg, Reece Sandberg, Sarah Chase, Sommer Johnson, Macie Johnson and Iyla Iverson and great-great grandchildren, McCall and Palmer Chase.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Olaf, her brothers, Andrew M, John C, Fred Jr. and Eugene Kerzmann and her sisters, Marie Kerzmann Langar, Dorothy Kerzmann Karlson and Louise Kerzmann.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be sent to Camp of the Cross Ministries.
