George Abdo Obituary

George Joseph Abdo
May 19, 1935 - December 11, 2024
George Joseph Abdo passed away peacefully on Wednesday, the 11th of December 2024. He was 89 years of age. George was born in San Antonio, Texas, on the 19th of May 1935. He was preceded in death by his parents Mr. Teofilo Abdo and Mrs. Geneive Karam Abdo. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Donna Dann Abdo and a host of nephews and nieces. He graduated from St. Mary's University in 1963, then graduated from UTMB, Galveston, in 1967. After completing an internship at Sacramento County Hospital, he married Donna Dann in 1968. He completed a Diagnostic Radiology Residency at UTMB, Galveston in 1971. He served 2 years in the Army at Ft. Hood, Texas, before going into private practice at Houston NW Medical Center. He also worked as a radiologist at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center and Tomball Hospital. In 2014, he retired and enjoyed participating and supporting the arts, i.e. the Alley Theater, the Houston Ballet, Houston Symphony and the Museum of Fine Arts. He spent many hours creating videos of his travels, adding music and other effects to them. He is most grateful to Houston Methodist Hospital's Lung Transplant Team for the extra ten years of life they were able to give him. In lieu of customary remembrances, memorial contributions in his memory may be directed to Houston Methodist J.C. Walter Jr. Transplant Center, 6445 Main St., Suite 26, Houston, TX 77030 or online at https://givingforms.houstonmethodist.org/GeneralGivingForm.

George was a classmate at Central Catholic High School, '52. I recall him as a very good young man and I am certain the rest of his life was wonderful. May he rest in peace.

I worked for Dr. Abdo in Texarkana and again at Diagnostic Hospital in Houston. He was always a gentleman and a wonderful person to work for. When I married another radiologist, I used to see he and Donna at social events. May he rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
