George William Earl Godson entered into eternal rest in Athens Aug. 9, 2023 at the age of 85.
He was born to George Oscar Godson and Marian Constance Godson Feb. 27, 1938 in Trenton, Ontario Canada. 
George served in the Canadian Army (1956-1988) where he then retired as Captain (RCEME) at St. Mary’s University, Halifax, N.S.
He had a wonderful life full of adventures from boating, fishing, RVing and playing guitar in a country western band and singing with his fellow RV companions, touring thru the U.S., Canada and Mexico. George was a lover of country music.
George was the kindest gentleman. He never raised his voice. George was always a kind soul to everyone he came across, whether he knew them or not. He was greatly loved by everyone who knew him: family, puppies and neighbors.
George was on leave in Dallas when he met his wife Geneice in 1986. He then moved to Texas in 1987, retiring from the Army in 1988, to be closer to Geneice who lived in Garland at the time. 
After four years of courting, George finally proposed to Geneice and they were officially married in 1990. Later in life, George and Geneice moved to Henderson County, beside the lake. George’s home was his pride and joy, constantly working to update and extend it. George even became the President of his and Geneice’s HOA. They have had 33 wonderful years together.
George was a member of the Presbyterian Church where he volunteered for various positions at the church, he was an usher, setup the communion, liturgist and was in the Presbyterian Men’s Group. He was also involved in what was fondly called “The Men’s Breakfast Club,” this is where he and fellow friends would come together and solve the world’s issues and have a good cup of McDonald’s coffee. 
After retiring from the service and moving to the states, George was employed and then retired from AutoZone. George enjoyed the work he did. He will be deeply missed, but he will live in the hearts that knew him.
George was preceded in death by sons George “Rug” Alexander Godson and Wade Morris Harmon and daughter Sherry Jane Hardman.
He is survived by his beloved wife Sarah “Geneice” Morris, sisters Rowena and Bill Paddon and Mary Lyn and Bruce Brown, daughters Jennifer Robertson, Gillian Godson, Pam Long, Lonnie Lee Back and Geneice Suzanne Clark, sons Michael Scott Harmon and Mark Blaine Harmon, along with many grandkids, great-grandkids and one great-great-grandkid.
Funeral services were held at First Presbyterian Church in Mabank Aug. 18, 2023 officiated by Reverend Jim Dees. Burial followed at Oaklawn Cemetery in Cooper.
