George Winston Obituary
George was born on August 20, 1948 in Fauquier County. He was the oldest of two children. He enjoyed gardening, watching sports and listening to music. He also enjoyed sharing life stories with his children and grandchildren. He gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life. He will be missed greatly by his family and everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Denise Winston; his son, George Roy; daughters, Tracy Winston, Kenya Roy, Tabitha Walker; his sister, Maryland Winston Kirkley; seven grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Leola Hackley Winston.
The funeral service will be held on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 12 noon at the Good Hope Baptist Church in Norman, followed by interment at the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations are sent to The National Kidney Foundation and/or Diabetes Association.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 8, 2010 from 2:30 until 6 p.m. at W.C. Thompson Funeral Home. Arrangements by W.C. Thompson Funeral Home, Culpeper, Virginia.

Although I never met Ray, my co-worker Maryland Kirkley spoke of his great fondess and care for his 12 yr old grandson. Psalm 139 comes to mind as I consider, "all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" - and may you all take great comfort in God's timing, as it is never premature or late. Grace and Peace to you in this sad time of loss.

I think of Psalm 139 when I consider the sad loss of your loved one. "My frame was not hidden from You,when I was made in secret,and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me,when as yet there was not one of them." I pray that the Sovereignty of God will provide much comfort in the weeks ahead. Although I never met Ray, what stands out is how my co-worker, Maryland Kirkley spoke of his great fondness for and devotion to his 12 yr old grandson. My prayers are with him specifically during this time.
Grace to You All.
