George Hardwick Obituary

George Douglas Hardwick, 82, of Burnsville, passed away on Friday, September 26, 2025, at Magnolia Regional Health Center.

Funeral services are set for Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 11 a.m. at Magnolia Funeral Home East Chapel, with interment in Love Joy Cemetery. Visitation will be Wednesday, October 1, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the funeral home. Bro. Jon Haimes and Bro. Rayborn Richardson will officiate. Pallbearers include Brian Powers, Chris Creasy, John Nunley, John Purvis, Brian Hardwick, and Timmy Gandy.

Born on February 13, 1942, to Douglas and Ara Hardwick, George was deeply loved by his sister, Onie, who was always by his side. He graduated from Glen School, where he played basketball. He loved the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and, in his younger years, water skiing.

After high school, George trained as a heavy machine operator. Drafted in 1966, he served in Vietnam as an Army Engineer, where exposure to Agent Orange later led to significant health issues.

In 1990, he married the love of his life, Gail Hardwick. They shared 40 years of marriage, enjoying the outdoors and rodeos, and raising their son, Charles Douglas Hardwick.

George was a proud supporter of Tishomingo County High School Lady Braves, a wrestling fan, and a member of Alabama Fishers of Men and Lake Runners Bass Fishing. Even as his health declined, he continued tinkering with lawn mowers and working outdoors as much as he could.

He is survived by his son, Charles Hardwick (Ali); grandchildren, Heather Parrish, Kyle Parrish and Lexxis Powell; nephew, Buddy Wiggington, niece, Barbara Ann Woodruff ; special friend, Estelle Wright; other relatives and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Gail Hardwick; father, Doug Hardwick; mother, Ara Hardwick and his sister, Onie Wigginton.
