George Talley

Celebrating the life of George Talley, a compassionate and generous soul who was born on February 15, 1951, in Conway, AR, USA. George was a man of many talents and had a heart full of love for his family. A loving PaPa, a skilled sheet metal worker, and an ardent lover of nature, he lived his life to the fullest in Bigelow, Arkansas until September 8, 2025.

George was a man of diligence and hard work, traits that were reflected in his career in sheet metal fabrication. His expertise and commitment to his craft were admired by all who had the privilege to work with him. In his leisure time, George reveled in the simplicity of nature, pursuing his love for hunting and fishing. His spirit was as vast and deep as the Arkansas rivers he loved to fish in, nurturing all who came into his orbit with his generosity and kindness. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." George embodied this sentiment, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him.

George is survived by his loving children, Amanda (Matt) Henson, Christopher Talley, Scott Collins, James Talley, and Jessica (Eric) Nantze. He also leaves behind a host of grandchildren and greatgrand children along with his siblings; Ronnie Fawbush, Linda Oaks, Pat Brown, Marilyn Jones, and Wynonna Dick. George was predeceased by his parents, James and Iris Talley, and his siblings, Allen Talley and Yvonna Wise.
