Colorado County Citizen, December 28, 1944George, Winnie (Waddell)Mrs. George Died Suddenly At Home On Tuesday NightDeath Is Shock To Community; Funeral For Life Long Resident Of Eagle Lake Is Held Yesterday Afternoon. Truly, in the midst of life, we are in death and it is but a step from the rose tints of health to the depth of the grave. This was once more forcibly taught us by the sudden passing of Mrs. C. M. George at her home in this city at about 9 o’clock Tuesday night. Mrs. George had spent the day and evening at the home of her sister, Mrs. Justin Smith, who has been seriously ill. She seemed in the enjoyment of perfect health, and only a few days ago told friends that she was feeling better than she had felt for some time, though during Tuesday afternoon she complained of a headache. Her death was sudden and unexpected, she having suffered a heart attack and passed away within a few minutes. Her death came as a great shock to her husband, her parents, her sisters and brother and to her friends, and has cast a gloom over the entire community. Mrs. George’s maiden name was Miss Winnie Waddell. She was forty-four years of age and was born and reared in Eagle Lake, being well known both in town and country. For many years she served efficiently as chief operator at the local telephone exchange, and within recent years was connected with the grocery department of the Frank Stephens Company, and through these positions gained a wide acquaintance with the public of this section. She was a Christian woman, having given her heart and life to her Lord in childhood. From youth she was a member of the Methodist church, being constant in attendance upon and active in the service of the sanctuary. She was a faithful and untiring worker in her church and all its branches. Mrs. George was the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Waddell of this city, and grew to womanhood here. As a child and a young lady she was a general favorite with all who knew her; possessing the graces of manner and disposition that make and hold friends. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church at 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon and although the weather was cold and disagreeable, a great crowd of sympathizing friends came to pay respect to the remains of one they had loved and to mingle their tears with the bitter tears of sorrowing loved ones. Rev. J. C. Wilson of Edna, a former Methodist pastor here, conducted a soothing and beautiful service. He was assisted in the services by Rev. N. G. Ozment, local Methodist pastor. Interment was made in the Masonic Cemetery. Mrs. George is survived by her husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Waddell, four sisters, Mrs. Justin Smith of this city; Mrs. Duke Eggers and Mrs. Claude White of Houston and Mrs. Maurice Goodson of Eagle Lake, and one brother, Phillip E. Waddell of this city. Truly it is sad to see one so strong and so useful called from life almost in the twinkling of an eye, and deep sorrow reigns over the hearts of many who loved her dearly because she is no more. The stricken husband, the heart-broken mother and father, and the sorrowing sisters and brothers and all the bereaved have the abiding sympathy of their many friends in their loneliness and sorrow.
