Catherine Georgina (Toots) Fyke was born in Rosetown, Sask. on June 13, 1921 to George and Roberteena Franklin. She moved to Welwyn at a young age.
She met Doug Fyke and they were married on June 28, 1941. On August 31, 1946, they were blessed with their first daughter Joan and on January 12, 1951, they were blessed with their second daughter Bobbi. They farmed in the Stanley district for years.
Georgina loved to knit, have family gatherings and cook. Georgina always said "If you leave my house hungry, it was your own darn fault."
Doug and Georgina sold their farm in 1977 and moved into Moosomin. On February 7, 1987, she lost the love of her life, Doug. She then sold the house and moved into Regency Court and made it her home until 2013. Early this year, she moved into Poppy Place.
