George Ashley Terrell, age 76, passed away on April 9, 2026 at Liberty Community Living Center after battling Alzheimer's. He was born on November 4, 1949 in Weatherford, Texas to the late James Samuel Terrell and Sally Reynolds Terrell.

George began his working career at Sears where he met his wife, Madolyn Hart Terrell.

A marriage "sponsored by Sears" lasting 52 years. After leaving Sears, he began a career with Mississippi Department of Transportation's Law Enforcement Division that lasted 30 years. During that time, George was a firearms instructor for the southern part of the state, a position he excelled at and enjoyed very much. He retired as a Lieutenant in 2011 and turned his attention to knife making and building beautiful birdhouses, wooden spoons, shelves and whatever his girls asked for.
