George Vest Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of George Vest (Alden, Iowa), who passed away on February 18, 2026, at the age of 98, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of George Vest to pay them a last tribute.

Though George may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those George touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his mother Fama Laurie; his sister Genevieve; his significant other Ardeth Woodall; and his children, Robert, Vicki and Richard.
