George was born in 1938 in Charleston, West Virginia to George Harley & Edith Roush. George went on to a successful 35 year career as a senior executive in production planning at the Owens-Illinois glass corporation. In 1961, he married JoAnne Hudson. They remained devoted to each other through 58 years of marriage. Their union resulted in two sons and six grandchildren. George devoted himself to family and was our coach, teacher, mentor, advisor, and our moral compass. George was an avid golfer in his younger days and a doting grandfather in his later years. In the end, dementia took away his memory but was unable to take away his spirit and positive disposition.
George is survived by his wife JoAnne and sons George (Michelle) Roush of Toledo, Ohio, and Edward (YoonJeong) Roush of Durham, N.C. George is also survived by 3 grandsons (George, James, Joseph) and 3 granddaughters (Claire, Julie, Ella).
