George C. Lester, age 82, Liberty, passed away on July 17, 2022.  He was born on August 3, 1939, in Pineville, Kentucky.  He was the youngest of 10 children born to Willie and Anna Messer Lester.

George was united in marriage on January 4, 1961, to Betty Henry Lester.  They were able to spend 45 years together before she passed in 2006.  They were blessed with five children.

He was a member of the Liberty Church of the Nazarene.  George retired from Visteon and its predecessors in 2000 after 34 years of service.  He enjoyed hunting, working on anything mechanical, baling square bales and raising livestock.  Above all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. 

George will be thought of often by his children: Roselinda Daulton, James (Julie) Lester, Steven (Rhonda) Lester, Michael (Roxanne) Lester, and Thomas (Teresa) Lester; eleven grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren and two on the way.  He has left behind to cherish his memories several nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents and wife, he is preceded in death by his siblings.

Friends and family may gather at the Liberty Church of the Nazarene, 220 W High Street, Liberty, on Friday, July 22, 2022, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.  Funeral services will be conducted by Pastor Jeff Adams at 7:00 pm.  Keeping with Lester's wishes, cremation will follow.

Urban Winkler Liberty Funeral Home is honored to assist George's family with the arrangements.
