He was a member of Dry Creek Baptist Church, where he recently served as pastor until declining health forced his retirement earlier this year. Ordained in 1982, he also served as pastor of other churches in the Baptist affiliation. George was a member of the Cassia Lodge and various hunting clubs. An avid hunter and fisherman, he leaves behind the greatest catch of his life, his wife of 47 years, Karleen Stalvey O’Berry. George was preceded in death by his parents, Lonnie and Letha Harrell O’Berry, and his in-laws, Rev. Jesse and Elaine Stalvey. Survivors, in addition to his wife, are his daughter and son-in-law, Shannon O. and Kylan Danforth; three grandchildren, Allie Grace, Kylie and Kase Danforth, all of Nashville, GA; his sister and brother-in-law, Janice O. and Jim Lee of St. Simons Island, GA; three sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law, Lynn S.
