GEORGE EDWARD JR. FRENCH

On April 23, 2015, in the early morning hours, we said farewell to a truly 
amazing and enormously loved man, George Edward French, Jr., known by his 
friends and family as "Frenchy." George served bravely and honorably in the 
United States Army during World War II, before coming home and marrying Bettye 
Jayne Washburne, who remained the love of his life for over 66 years. During 
this time, George and Bettye began a very special and large family that has 
shared holidays and other special moments together in the tiny, red brick house 
at 506 Grayling Lane. Indeed, George loved unconditionally and always put his 
family first above all else. He always made it a priority to instill in his 
children, the importance of family over all other worldly objects.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, a grandson and two 
brothers.

George is survived by his wife, Bettye, his three children, eight 
grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.

Although George passed on just a couple of weeks shy of his 90th birthday, he 
remains very much alive in the hearts and souls of the family and friends that 
meant so very much to him.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM, Saturday, April 25, 2015 at St. 
Alban's Episcopal Church in Monroe, LA with the Rev. Whit Stodghill 
officiating. A visitation will be from 1:00 PM until the service time at the 
church.

Online condolences may be made to the family at www.kilpatrickfuneralhomes.com.
