Odette Bertucci Batis Died peacefully on October 3rd, in
Atlanta, Georgia. Batis was born in 1923, in San Francisco, to
Victor and Evelyn Bertucci. She attended Balboa High School and
studied at University of California, Berkeley before meeting her
husband, George Batis, Sr. After World War II, Mr. and Mrs.
Batis traveled the world together during his employ at the Bank
of America and until Mr. Batis' death in 1977. "GG" as she was
known by her great grandchildren, was a warm and kind mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother. Mrs. Batis is survived by her
daughter, Odette Batis, Jr., and her son, George Batis, Jr.,
both of the Bay area. Her grandson Donald Mock and his three
children live in Atlanta, where "GG" spent her last years. Per
Mrs. Batis' plans, no formal funeral service will be held. In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sixty Plus Program
