Psalm 38:18

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

George David Maloney, 67, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 2, 2023, surrounded by his loving family.

George was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He was so dedicated to Mom that he only waited 41 days to be reunited in Heaven with her. He loved hunting and fishing, telling stories to anyone who would listen, telling jokes and laughing. There was never a dull moment around him. He was the ultimate provider for his family. We watched our dear, sweet father decline in health for three long years. He was brave and strong and was trying to comfort and protect us until his last breath. While his mind and body began to fade; his love never did. He was a proud employee of A&G Coal for 37 years and a veteran of the U.S. Army.

George is preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, Rose; his parents, Lewis Maloney and Elaine Cox Powers and two sisters, Donna Snyder and Emma Hubbard.

George is survived by his daughter, Wendy Deel (Randy); son, Josh Maloney (Courtney); grandsons, Tanner Deel (Kylie), Andrew Deel, and Noah Maloney; granddaughter, Grace Maloney; great-grandson, Tyler Deel; great-granddaughter, Tanleigh Deel; brothers, Wendell Freeman (Janet) and Don Maloney (Deanna); and sister, Sarah Stanley (Earl); several nieces and nephews, and host other relatives and friends.
