George Turnbaugh Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 25, 2025.
George W. Turnbaugh, 82, of Enola, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 3, 2025, after a brief illness. He was the son of George David and Marian Elizabeth (Kuhn). He was a proud father and is survived by his daughter, Stephanie Larkin (David Milligan).

George was a 1961 graduate of Blain High School and in 1965 received his bachelor's degree in business administration from The Pennsylvania State University. He retired from Blue Shield with nearly 30 years of service. He enjoyed meeting people and spending time at his favorite diner, where staff was his extended family. He loved cars, especially fast cars, and in his younger years could be found wandering the aisles at car shows. He was a magazine collector and a voracious reader, sharing a love of history with his daughter. He loved to listen to Penn State football and Philadelphia Phillies games on the radio and proudly wore his Penn State sweatshirt. He was generous, with sharp wit and a silly disposition.

Visitation will take place from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at Sullivan Funeral Home, 51 North Enola Drive, Enola. A Masonic service will follow from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. At his request, a "bon voyage" reception for George will be held at Pizza Boy Brewing, 2240 Millenium Way, Enola, following the service.

Memorial donations can be made in George's name to any of the following charities he supported: Bethesda Mission, PO Box 3041, Harrisburg, PA 17105 ; St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38106; or Shriner's Hospitals for Children, 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607.

Stephanie, I worked with George for many years at Blue Shield. We became friends and he love sharing about you. He loved his cars and enjoyed talking about them too. He will be missed. Cherish the memories, I know I will.

Went to school with Bill and he lived "just thru bridge" from me in Cisna Run. As young kids we played together
