Georgia Lubisher
(February 22, 1921 - February 28, 2015)
Georgia Lubisher, 94 of Spearfish, passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2015 at Rapid City Regional Hospital.
Georgia was born on February 22, 1921 to Philip and Mary (Kosch) Lubisher in Madison, (Humphrey) NE. The family moved to the Black Hills in 1936. She graduated from Deadwood High School in 1939.
Following her graduation she became the receptionist for Dr. F. S. Howe, pioneer doctor in Deadwood. She put her secretarial skills from her high school training to work when she worked for the US Forest Service in Deadwood and also Fort Meade in Sturgis before becoming the Office Manager for Canyon Oil and Clark Tire Companies in Deadwood. She left that position to open a Public Accounting Service also in Deadwood.
Leaving Deadwood in 1973, she relocated to Boise, ID to take over the position of office manager for G&S Construction. She remained in that capacity until her retirement in 1983.
Georgia devoted many hours of service in her retirement years to volunteering at St. Luke’s Hospital in the accounting department, receiving a certificate of merit for 2000 hours when she left Boise. She had also been active in a number of business and professional organizations throughout her career.
Georgia returned to the Black Hills in 1998 and lived independently until she was forced to go into assisted living following a fall in 2012.
Georgia was known for her loyalty, generosity and being fiercely independent.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and her brother Duane. She is survived by her sister Patricia Hungerford of Murphys, California
