Getta enjoyed the outdoors, and she and her husband traveled to many different parts of the United States meeting friends at RV rallies. She leaves behind many classmates and friends she kept in touch with over the years. Georgetta was a very gentle soul with a heart of gold. Georgetta is survived by her husband Terry Chappell; her brother Charles Murrell; nieces, nephews, and cousins; and by her beloved chihuahua, Tiny. She was preceded in death by her son Charles Laird and her parents Elizabeth and Hudson Murrell.
