George Daughtridge Obituary

He was born September 20, 1927, to the late Jasper Hayes (Jack) and Emma Vick Daughtridge. He was preceded in death by brothers, David and Jackie Daughtridge, sisters Nellie Moore and Shirley Shearin and son, Marvin Daughtridge.
George was a self-employed business man. Throughout his life, he was a brick mason, carpenter, contractor, and commercial fisherman. Although he helped build many fine houses and business around Rocky Mount, his greatest accomplishment was his family. He loved spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
