It is with heavy hearts and a boisterous chuckle that we bid farewell to our beloved Georgia Leaskas, the sassiest lady to ever grace the sweltering streets of Las Vegas, Nevada. Born on December 5, 1950, Georgia entered this world ready to break every rule and raise enough hell to make the devil himself jealous. And oh, did she succeed.
Georgia was a force to be reckoned with. If you ever dared to cross her path, she would give you a look so fierce, you'd question if she was channeling her inner lioness. Her wit was sharper than a Vegas magician's sawing-in-half trick, and her sarcasm could cut through the scorching desert heat.
Known for her insatiable love of slots, Georgia would spend hours at the casino, charming every dealer with her contagious laughter and undeniable charm. She wouldn't hesitate to share her 'winning strategies' with anyone willing to listen, no matter if their ears were ready to absorb the wisdom of a true Vegas veteran.
Georgia's passion for adventure was unrivaled — she could outdance anyone at a salsa club, outdrink the strongest cowboy in town, and outgamble Lady Luck herself. But her true talent was playing blackjack with the sternest of faces, fooling even the most experienced card sharks into folding their hands in defeat.
When it came to fashion, Georgia was known as the ultimate trendsetter. She rocked sequins and feather boas like nobody's business, never failing to turn heads wherever she went. Her wardrobe could make a Las Vegas showgirl blush with envy, and she proved time and time again that age was just a number when it came to style.
Beneath her fiery exterior, Georgia had a heart of gold. She was the first to offer a helping hand and the loudest cheerleader for her loved ones. Despite her fondness for the raucous Las Vegas nights, she cherished the quiet moments with her family, reveling in the joy of her grandchildren's laughter and the warmth of their bear hugs.
On August 29, 2023, Georgia's infectious laughter echoed for the last time, leaving a void in our lives that can never be filled. As we mourn her passing, we can't help but picture her sipping martinis at the pearly gates, sharing her raunchy jokes with the angels and teaching them a trick or two about high-stakes gambling.
Georgia Leaskas, you will be dearly missed, but your spirit will forever remain a glimmering neon sign in our hearts. No matter the odds or the game, you showed us all how to live each day like a winner.
In lieu of flowers, Georgia would have wanted donations to be made to the Las Vegas Strip Preservation Fund, so that the magic and mischief she so cherished can live on for generations to come.
