Donald Arthur George Sr Feb 25, 1941 - Nov 8, 2020
Posted by Ann Weber
Donald Arthur George, Sr. ascended to his heavenly kingdom on Sunday,
November 8, 2020, at the age of 79. He was a U.S. veteran who served his
country with honor, courage and commitment. After living and racing
across several states, waters and climates, Don became a longtime
resident of Oklahoma where he cherished life with his wife Jayne,
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, family and friends.
Don was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on February 25, 1941, and was adopted
by his loving parents Harold Slone and Marie Ina (Ward) George. After
receiving his GED, Don enlisted in the United States Navy where he
served during the Vietnam War as 2nd Class Machinist Mate from 1959 to
1963. While on leave Don married the love of his life, Pearlie Jayne
Barnes, on November 15, 1962, in Hooker, OK. Don then returned to his
military duty on the USS Epperson and Jayne would follow shortly after
to make their first home together in Hawaii in 1963.
Don and Jayne would later move to Colorado where they ran a resort in
the Green Mountain Falls area for one year. They enjoyed traveling
together and with their children. One of the family’s favorite trips was
to Kampgrounds of America’s Royal Gorge when they hiked up to Pike’s
Peak. The family would later move to Liberal, KS, before making their
forever home in Ramona, OK, in 1972.
Don worked as an independent electrician for most of his life and he
enjoyed spending time tinkering around on projects with his
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was particularly proud of a
solar powered electric flagpole that he recently received a patent for.
One of his most cherished items Don had ever owned was his souped up ’58
Chevy that he loved to race and would proudly proclaim that he never
lost a race.
Donald is preceded in death by his parents and daughter Elizabeth
Broadway.
He is survived by his loving wife Pearlie Jayne George of the home; son
Donald Arthur George, Jr.; four daughters Stephanie Dee-Ann Smith, Tracy
Lynn George, Shannon Schultz, and Darlene Doskoch; seven grandchildren
James Kahler, Michelle Davis, Evan Smith, Kevin George, Whitney George,
