George Washington Simpkins' Obituary
George W. Simpkins, of Spotsylvania, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, August 13, 2023.
George was proud to serve his country during his time in the Army. He retired from the Army after a long career as a Sgt 1st class. Most of all, he was a family-oriented man who loved to spend time with his family, especially his grandchildren. George was a simple man who played the lottery, loved Chevy trucks, enjoyed cultivating his own garden, and was an avid New York Yankees baseball fan.
He is survived by his sons, Lonnie Simpkins and Martin Simpkins (Anita); his daughter, Misty Coonradt (Charles); his siblings, Betty Ann McFalls (Charles), and Shirley Walker; his grandchildren, Brian, Patrick, Martin, Jr., and John Joseph Simpkins and Ashley Matalone; and other loving extended family.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbarie Simpkins; his parents, William and Nora Simpkins; and siblings, Lonnie Simpkins, Lester Simpkins, Beatrice McGhee, and William Simpkins, Jr.
The family will receive friends from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Monday, August 21, 2023 at Found and Sons Funeral Chapels, 10719 Courthouse Road, Fredericksburg. A funeral service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, August 22, 2023 in the funeral home chapel. Interment will follow in Quantico National Cemetery.
