Gita was born in Valmiera, Latvia. Her parents were Anna and Janis Kligers. She had a younger sister, Dace. As a young girl she and her family left Latvia during World War II to avoid living under communism in the Soviet Union. Her father was taken by the German army to work as a laborer as the Germans retreated from Latvia. Gita along with her sister and mother followed on foot across Europe. It was a difficult journey because it was winter and a war was being waged around them. They ended their journey in Memmingen, Germany where they stayed in a displaced persons camp. From there they were sponsored to the United States of America by a doctor in Byron, Michigan. They worked a few years for the doctor to pay back their passage to the USA. Gita finished high school and married Juris Ozols. That marriage produced one daughter, Dace. The marriage lasted only a few years and after her divorce, Gita and Dace moved to Fenton, Michigan. Gita worked in a factory for Jansen Company and later at GM Truck and Bus factory in Flint.

Gita married her last husband Ernest Segur and they lived in Swartz Creek. Gita enjoyed gardening and she loved having a dog. Gita was close to her family and visited frequently. They enjoyed playing the card game spades and had many family dinners. Gita is survived by her daughter Dace. Dace married Gary Mooney and they have a son Dylan. Dylan is very successful as a physician in Burton, MI. Dylan is married to Jaspreet Mann, also a physician. Dylan and Jaspreet have two girls, Annabella and Ariya.
