Better known as Pearl to many, Georgia was born in Navasota on December 2, 1942, to Eugene and Alma (Brewer) Nobles. She married Henry Joe Roese in Anderson on October 13, 1962, and they raised two children together. They were married for 58 years.

Georgia enjoyed her time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren as much as possible. Georgia loved to be in her kitchen, cooking up many different meals that she could recite off the top of her head - not out of a cookbook. She also enjoyed many summers spent at the beach and camping at Lake Somerville with family. Georgia was the go-to person for information about anyone and anything. It didn’t matter where you were that she could make you laugh and crack a joke.

Georgia never met a stranger; she could make a friend anywhere. She was an avid lover of her flowers and red birds in her yards. No matter who it was Georgia was there for anyone that needed her; whether it was going to appointments when others were ill to being another “mom/granny” to so many, she was the first one to be there when someone was in need.

She is survived by her husband, Henry Joe Roese of Washington; son, Terry Joe Roese of Washington; daughter, Roxanne Buro and husband Paul of Washington; brother, Shorty Nobles and wife Gerry of Navasota; sister, Effie Addicks of Brenham; brother-in-law, Ernest Moreland; grandchildren, Terry Joe Roese, Jr. and wife Lauren of Navasota, Dustin Buro of Washington, Tasmine Brown and husband Michael of Iola, Rachel Kaase and husband Kyler(William) of College Station, Colton Buro of Washington, and Chase Roese and wife Monica of Anderson; great-grandchildren, Alexis Brown, Chayton Roese, Kase Kaase, Waylon Brown, Cashlynn Kaase, Ryder Roese, Trasyn Roese, Eli Brown and Kodee Kaase; and Godchildren, Brad Hinze and Tina Newman; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Georgia was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Ernest Eugene Nobles, Vernon Nobles, Alma Priscilla “Sally” Tyler, Joe Nobles, Russell Nobles, Irving Nobles, James Thomas Nobles, and Doris Moreland.

Serving as pallbearers are Colton Buro, Dustin Buro, T.J. Roese, Chase Roese, Kyler William Kaase, and Michael Brown. Brad Hinze and Tina Newman are honorary pallbearers.
