Georgia Emily Colebank was born on April 10, 1921 in McLean, Texas to George & Clara (Carpenter) Colebank, a Texas Panhandle pioneer family. Georgia graduated from McLean High School. In 1944 Georgia married her high school sweetheart, C. B. Lee, Jr. The Lee’s lived in Dallas for 15 years until Carl’s death on November 11, 1964. Georgia had been a legal secretary for oil companies off and on for about 12 years; however, in order to be home with her daughter, she decide to move to Canyon, Texas to go to college. Georgia began her freshman year in 1965. Georgia completed a 4-year course at West Texas State University in 2 ½ years, graduating in the spring of 1968 with honors Business and later received a Master’s Degree in 1974. Georgia taught school in Canyon school system for 10 years. After a 11- month courtship, Georgia married Kenneth Hogue on June 12, 1976 in the First Baptist Church in Canyon, Texas. Kenneth was a longtime owner and publisher of the Dalhart Texan. The Hogue’s loved to travel together, help with Meals on Wheels and just to laugh and be together. Georgia and Kenneth were happily married until his death on June 20, 1999. Georgia moved to Maumelle, AR in 2006 due to her health and to be near family. Georgia loved Arkansas and the beauty of all its seasons.

Georgia had a long, wonderful life, loved by her family and friends. Georgia loved life, always had an uplifting spirit and always had a smile on her face. Georgia loved the Lord and was a Sunday school teacher for many years while living in McLean and Dallas, Texas. Georgia enjoyed being with her family, was so proud of her grandkids and great-grandkids, working in her flowerbeds and having fresh flowers in her house, playing bridge, oil painting and watercolor, reading her bible, watching football (especially the Cowboys) and had become a loyal Arkansas Razorback fan, and loved her chocolate. She was a gentle, loving, wise, loyal, inquisitive, mischievous, a quick wit, a great role model and an inspiration and spiritual leader to her family.
