January 2, 1945 – September 29, 2017
Georgene passed away peacefully on the afternoon of September 29, 2017 at the age of 72.
She was surrounded by her family in the home which she built with her husband David.
David and Georgene met at Cal Poly University and were married in January 1967 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Mountain View, CA, where Georgene had grown up as a young girl.
Georgene was proud to have graduated from Cal Poly with a BA in Business-Industrial Relations, following in the footsteps of her beloved father who served as a union worker/foreman in San Francisco for over forty years.
While Georgene was an extremely private person, she was well liked and loved in the community of Gilroy, California where she and her husband David built and owned a thriving small business, Abbott’s Pro Power for more than thirty-five years. That business is still thriving today through the work of her husband David and son David Jr. Georgene believed in being kind to others, accepting all faiths, religions, and nationalities, and to giving back to the community in which she lived. She was an extremely spiritual woman who lived every day praying to God for the blessings he had bestowed upon her. She loved being a business owner, a wife, a mother, playing with her dogs and her grandchildren, gardening, and listening to music, especially country music. Her life brought so much joy to those around her, who knew her as an extremely strong and passionate woman who was patriotic, proud, and virtuous.
Preceded in death by her father George Rettig, mother Catherine Stahor, her brothers George Rettig Jr., and Eugene Rettig.
She is survived be her daughter Renee Abbott Blocker, her husband Lewis, their children Michaela, Emily, and Nathan, by her son David Jr., his wife Nicole, and her grandchildren Bode and Sydney, her nephew Russell Rettig , his wife Sharon, nephew Randy Rettig and partner Charles Wayne Wood.
