Georgia Rasch

Georgia Ann Rasch
Georgia Ann Rasch, 70, passed away surrounded by her family on November 13, 2012, at Cornerstone Villa after a long struggle with various medical problems.
Georgia was born February 22, 1942 in Hibbing, MN.    She was the oldest of seven children and the daughter to Paul and Mayme (Jacobson) Sharich.  She was united in marriage to her soul mate Clifton in 1965.  Two years later they welcomed their first son.  From there Georgia went on to become a full time wife and mother of two children.  She worked tirelessly to ensure that her boys had three meals on the table every day.  Home cooked meals were just one of the ways she showed her love for her family.  She also taught her family to be respectful of others and treat people how you would wish to be treated.  Her greatest joy came when she would watch her sons play athletics.  She rarely missed a game.   She may not have watched when things got too dicey during an event, but she was always there.  Once they grew up, she moved on to her beloved grandchildren and their activities.   Upon her falling too ill to make it to those events, she would smile as she was told of a recital, play or soccer game, never once complaining of her illness that robbed her of so many things.  She loved her family so much.  Georgia was also blessed with a close knit group of friends who enjoyed her company and were always there for her.  They would take trips with her, go out to dinners and finally when she could not do the things she loved, they would talk on the phone with her and comfort her in that way.  Georgia is greatly missed by family and friends.
Georgia was preceded in death by her father Paul Sharich, who was killed in WW II; her mother and loving step father Jim and Mayme Buvens; her sister Carol Mackey; and brother David Buvens.
She is survived by her husband Clifton Rasch; her sons Christopher (Tia) Rasch and Jason (Jessica) Rasch; and grandchildren Sara, Heidi and Andrew; her brother Paul (JoAnn) Sharich; her sister Barbara (Wayne) Gardner;  brother James Buvens; and sister Suzanne Simmons.
