Georgetta was a 1962 graduate of Prairie High School in Tipton County, Indiana, and attended Union Bible Seminary in Westfield.

Georgetta and her husband also served many Christian Schools as teacher and principal. She served as administrative assistant to the chairman of the International Conservative Holiness Association.
