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. She 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. She 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. Survived by numerous nieces and nephews .
