You're in Missouri, Tom. She's in Georgia. Traffic laws vary from state to state, especially with regard to u-turns, right-on-red, left-on-red and similar laws.
minDyG, the
Georgia Driver's Manual (p. 40) specifically mentions right-on-red and left-on-red, but says nothing about u-turns-on-red. With regard to left-on-red, it specifically conditions that right as follows: "from the left lane of a one way street only onto a one way street on which the traffic moves toward the driver’s left." A u-turn is not a left turn, nor are you turning onto a one-way street that moves to your left, so it would not seem to satisfy this condition.
The only mention of u-turns in the book (p. 44) says "Do not make a U-turn where signs prohibit doing so." Arguably, a red light is a sign or signal prohibiting any movement, except for right- or left- turns as allowed.
I would assume it's not legal unless something can be found specifically saying that it is.
