BIOGRAPHY

Huard was born in the commune of Le Havre in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy, France, on 24 November 1912. Her father died in the First World War.

In June 1942, she married Georges Huard and later had a son, Jean. The family first arrived in Orne in 1949, settling in Vimoutiers after Georges was transferred for work. Previously an accountant in a hardware store, Georgette left her job to care for their son.

After retiring, the couple moved to Vire, in the Calvados region. In 1992, they relocated to Sées, to the Jean-Bazin residence, to be closer to their son and spend more time with their grandchildren. Sadly, they arrived in October, and her husband passed away just two months later, in December. In August 2011, following a fall, she moved into the nursing home in Sées.

At the age of 110, she had three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She mentioned that one of the little secrets to her longevity might be her love of laughter.
