Theys, Georgia Catherine
(Nee Knotek) formerly Herbert, passed away peacefully July 31, 2018 at the age of 92. Loving mother of Cynthia (Joseph) Waters, James Herbert, Frances Korytkowski, Charles (Jenny) Herbert, and step-mother of Patricia Wilken. She was blessed with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dear sister of Sr. Rose Knotek, Sr. Julie Knotek, Charlie, Jerry, and Frank Knotek. Preceded in death by her husbands Joseph R. Herbert and Thomas Theys, children John, Raynold, Carol, Barry, step-daughters Judith and Suzanne, and siblings Mary, Fr. Wence, Fr. John, Helen, Al, and Ann.

Georgia was a woman of few words and the kindest woman in the world. She was a former employee of the Oak Creek Power Plant, as well as a devoted wife, mother, and parishioner of St. Martin of Tours. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Special thanks to Patricia Wilken for being her caregiver for many years, and to Ken Theys, Eucharistic minister.
