Delia “Jeanette“ Shreve George, 84, a resident of Cassity, passed from this life Sunday morning, September 8, 2013 at Davis Memorial Hospital Emergency Department to enter her eternal home in Heaven. She had been a patient at Elkins Rehabilitation & Care Center where she was undergoing physical therapy following a recent surgery. Death was sudden and unexpected. Jeanette was born Tuesday, June 4, 1929 in Adolph, a daughter of the late Charles “Ed” Shreve and Norva Fincham Shreve. On September 2, 1950, she married her lifelong love, Edward “June” George who survives. They had celebrated sixty-three years of marriage. Jeanette attended the schools of Randolph County, and was a homemaker who enjoyed gardening, cooking, canning, and spending time with her family. Most of all, she enjoyed her Sunday dinners with all her children and grandchildren. She spent countless hours in her kitchen preparing the “perfect meal”, only to walk away until everyone else had eaten before sitting at the table herself. As one of the most selfless people one could ever meet, she spent several years volunteering at Tyrand Cooperative Ministries in Mill Creek. She was a life long member of the Fincham Chapel Church in Adolph and a Methodist by faith. Others left to cherish Jeanette’s memory is one daughter, Evelyn George of Talbott Community, two sons, William “Bill” George and wife, Susan of Kingsville and Joseph “Joe” George and wife, Lisa of Cassity, five grandchildren, Lisa Conniff and husband John of Talbott Community, Seth, Sabrina, Devin, and Dustin George, three great grandchildren, Garrett Conniff, Sydney Conniff, and Alexis George, and several nieces and nephews for whom she cared for as her own. Jeanette was preceded in death by one infant son, Raymond Earl, one sister, Geneva George, and five brothers, June, Bill, Ernest, Jimmy, and Darewood Shreve. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Visitation for Jeanette will be held at the Randolph Funeral Home on Wednesday from 7 until 9PM. Funeral services will be conducted from the funeral home chapel on Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 1PM. Chesley Koerner will officiate and interment will follow at Fincham Chapel Cemetery in Adolph.
