Georgiana was born in Boston, and was the beloved daughter of the late Wadie and Sadie (Abraham) Mattar.

Rihbany of Roslindale, and Mary Sanchez and her husband Robert Sanchez of CA., and the cherished grandmother, “Sitoo,” of Amanda Sanchez and Daniel Sanchez of CA., and she will be sorely missed by them all.
