Barbara George

Mrs. Barbara Lee George, 84, of Kilmarnock, Virginia, peacefully passed away on September 6, 2025. She is survived by her only daughter, Sheila Tomlin (Tony); grandchildren, Jasmyn and Antonio Tomlin; brother, Bud Hearold; and a host of nieces and nephews. She also leaves to cherish her memory, close friends, Darlene Griffith, Patricia Davenport, and Judy Hammell.
Along with her father, Allie G. Lee, and mother, Lena E. Kellum-Lee, she was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Bayne George; three brothers, Allie G. Lee, Jr., Howard Lee, and Frank Goldburn Lee, Sr.; and three sisters, Helen Laird Dorman, Peggy George, and Essie Jones.
In her early life, Mrs. George was well known for babysitting and housecleaning, along with assembling and decorating Christmas trees. This hobby of hers led her to put up neighbors' and friends' Christmas trees for the holidays. When her grandchildren were born in 1999 and 2008, she spent a lot of time showering them with love. There was nothing she wouldn't do for them, along with everyone else she came in contact with throughout her lifetime.
Poem from daughter:
If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord Please pick a bunch for me Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day. But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.
In Loving Memory of my Mother, Barbara Lee George May 25, 1941 - September 6th, 2025
Poem from grandchildren:
You can have one Patient, kind, and true No other friends in all the world Will be the same to you When other friends forsake you To Grandma, you will return For all her loving kindness She asks for nothing in return.
