 Georgina was born and raised in Watsonville to immigrant parents from Herzegovina and Montenegro, Theodore and Draga Deretich. She enjoyed a wonderful childhood with a loving family, she graduated from Watsonville High School, went on to attend San Jose State University and began a career in the Travel Agency business.

 Georgina and Alex raised two boys, Mike and Sam, which were the center of their lives.
 In the early 70’s Alex and Georgina returned to farming, where they continued until the early 80’s. At that time, Georgina started a small giftware’s business making servings trays, trivets and recipe boxes which blossomed into a nationwide (and eventually international) business.

She also enjoyed numerous longtime friends in the Gilroy and Watsonville communities including, Women In Touch, Watsonville High Class of ’59, St. Michael’s Serbian Orthodox Church, Am Slavs, and Omladina.
 She will be truly missed but her lasting love, laughter and smile will remain with all who knew her.
