George H. Boney

George H. Boney, 89, passed away at his home on November 9, 2026. Born on November 4, 1937, George lived a long life marked by devotion to his family, pride in his country, and a generous spirit toward others.

George served in the United States Air Force and was proud of his service. That sense of pride remained an important part of his life and stood among his proudest accomplishments. He was someone who enjoyed his life, loved his family, and found meaning in helping people whenever he could.

He will be remembered for the simple pleasures and familiar routines that brought him happiness. George liked going to the slots and playing bingo, and he enjoyed trips to Wilson's Auction on Saturday mornings. He loved to hunt and fish with his family, and he spent time tinkering with lawn mowers. These interests reflected a man who appreciated activity, family, and the satisfaction of keeping busy with the things he enjoyed most.

Just as meaningful as his hobbies was the care he showed to others. George spent time with his family and took joy in being with them and helping in every way he could. He also helped the Amish community by driving and assisting people whenever he was able to. His willingness to lend a hand and his enjoyment of helping people will be remembered with gratitude by those whose lives he touched.

George is survived by his son, Robert Boney. He also leaves a loving legacy in his grandchildren, Elizabeth Boney, David Wilkins married to Corrinna Wilkins, Janet Sharp married to Jason Sharp, and Jamie Moore married to Shawn Moore; his great-grandchildren, Brianna Wilhelm, Christopher Beaudet-Brown, Ashley Williams, Katelyn Williams, JT Tucker, Shawn Moore, Eric Moore, and Dominic Moore; and his great-great-grandchildren, Aliya, Xyliah, E'myah, and Brooklyn. He was preceded in death by his spouse, Janet Wilkins.

George H. Boney will be remembered as a man who enjoyed life, cherished his family, honored his military service, and gave of himself freely to help others in need. The glue that held us together may be gone, but the love that made us a family will never be undone. His legacy will live on through each of us, as we carry forward the love, strength, and traditions that have kept our family together.
