George DeNeale Obituary

Mr. George DeNeale, 83, formerly of Washington, D.C., and more recently a guest at Sunrise Assisted Living of Frederick, died on Thursday, March 31, 2005, at the Citizens Nursing Home of Frederick County.

Born March 19, 1922, in Washington, D.C., Mr. DeNeale was born blind and home schooled by his loving mother, who taught him to type, a skill which he used in writing a trivia column for a Washington-area newspaper for over 28 years.

He was the last of his immediate family, and is remembered by a special, devoted friend, Lynn Harris and husband, Stephen, of Frederick.

Graveside funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 4 at Saint John's Cemetery, East Third and Fourth streets, in Frederick, Md. Services will be conducted by his friend and spiritual caregiver, Bishop Carl Purvenas-Smith.

The Keeney and Basford Funeral Home, 106 East Church St., Frederick, is in charge of funeral arrangements.
