Funeral services for Georgia Kusy, 86, of Albert Lea, Minnesota, who died Tuesday, March 19, 2002, were held Saturday, March 23 at Bayview/Freeborn Funeral Chapel.

Georgia Kusy was born May 11, 1915 to John, Sr. and Anna (Shebbal) Vomacka in Oakland Township. She attended rural schools near Oakland and Myrtle. Georgia worked on the family farm and in other homes cleaning and caring for the sick. She also did seasonal work in the fields harvesting potatoes and onions and topping carrots.

On September 28, 1935 she was united in marriage to Eddie Kusy in Albert Lea. The couple farmed in the Myrtle and Hayward areas until their move to St. Ansgar where they were farm hands for the next 23 years.

Georgia was a member of the Music Mother's Club and involved in helping with many banquets in the area. She enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing and doing fancy work. Eddie and Georgia enjoyed gardening and canning and raised several different kinds of poultry and domestic rabbits for food. They enjoyed fishing and camping with their children. During the winter, the family trapped hoping to earn extra money for Christmas.

Because of Eddie's health they left farming and bought a small tavern in London, which they operated for 15 years until Eddie died in 1874. Georgia sold the business and lived with her children in Mankato and Lake Elmo before moving to Albert Lea.

Georgia is survived by children: Marcella and husband Robert Eischen of Lake Elmo, Minnesota; Jerome and wife Gloria Kusy of Jacksonville, North Carolina; and Franklin and wife Jeanine Kusy of Mankato; five grandsons, Marc and Steven Eischen of Lake Elmo; Wayne Eischen of North Hudson, Wisconsin; Kris Kusy of Mapleton, Minnesota; and Joey (Jerome Jr.) Kusy; four granddaughters, Dawn Mathieson of Lakeville, Minnesota; Susan Hoeldt of Aniak, Arkansas; Karen Luebbe of Monument, Colorado; and Janeese Taylor of Junction City, Kansas; 14 great grandchildren; brother Stanley Vomacka of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; sisters, Anna Chapek of Conger; Rose Foss of London; and Alice Kycek of Albert Lea, Minnesota; many nieces and nephews.
