George Hendricks, Sr., age 96, of North Charleston, South Carolina, passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

George was born on April 29, 1929, in Conway, SC to Evan Hendricks and Grace Hendricks (Appleby). On Aug 17, 1948, in Charleston, SC, George married Frances Elizabeth Crump of Charleston, SC.

He was preceded in death by Frances (wife), Evan Hendricks (Father), and Grace Hendricks (Mother).

George is survived by Clifford Hendricks (Son), Greg Hendricks (Son), Linda Birr (Daughter), George Hendricks, Jr. (Son).

George was an avid sportsman. While in the Air Force he played many intramural supports and started his lifelong love of golf and bowling. He often talked of how grateful he was to get a chance to play golf with all his sons. He served a term as President of the Charleston Men's bowling association. He played racquetball well into his 80's.

But the real passion in his life was Frances, his wife of 68 years. Even in his last years he talked about their world travels, how beautiful she was and how lucky he was she chose him.

Services will be held at a later date.
