George Winslow Obituary

Published by Legacy on Sep. 19, 2025.
George Edward Winslow was an unforgettable man. He was the owner of Winslow Construction and worked as a carpenter for over 40 years before retiring in Ocklawaha, FL in 2024. He passed away unexpectedly on August 17, 2025 at the age of 62 at AdventHealth in Ocala, FL surrounded by family and friends.

He is survived by his wife Michelle Winslow; daughter Tiffany Martin (Nicholas); grandson Keaton Maxwell; sisters Linda Duprey (Clyde), Kathy Winslow and Laura Winslow; brothers Kenneth Winslow (Sonya) and Leonard Winslow; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Charles and Nancy Winslow; brother Chuck Winslow (Nancy) and sister Carol Winslow.

George was born in West Islip, NY on October 21, 1962. He came from a family of 10 and went to Vanguard HS. He moved to Houston, TX where he met Michelle. He fell in love with Michelle and her daughter, Tiffany, whom he raised as his own. They moved to Nashville in 1987. Shortly after, they bought a house together and have lived in Ashland City, TN for 35 years before moving to Ocklawaha last year.

George and Michelle got married in 1994 in a beautiful front yard ceremony with a horse and carriage. They have been married for 31 years but together for 40 years. In 2011, George became a loving grandfather to his only grandson, Keaton.

George loved taking rides on his Harley Davidson. He enjoyed westerns, especially Gunsmoke. He was a big fan of John Wayne, Tennessee Titans, Nashville Predators and the New York Yankees. He was also an avid traveler.

George had a ton of stories to tell to anyone that would listen. He never met a stranger. He is known for his saying, "Anyone tell you they loved you today? Well, I do!" He could always put a smile on your face. He will be missed dearly.

George's Celebration of Life will be on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at the Forest Community Center in Ocklawaha, FL from 11a-3p. All are welcome. There is also a gofundme set up.
