Curtis, George Weedon
George Weedon Curtis born July 8, 1929 passed away at his home on October 11, 2024 at the age of 95 surrounded by his family.
He served 20+ years in the United States Air Force as an Administrative Supervisor and Comptroller, retiring as a Master Sergeant. He went on to work for the Virginia Employment Commission as a Deputy and worked part-time as an Assistant Manager for Triangle Lanes. He was inducted into the USBC NRV Association Bowling Hall of Fame in 2007 and was an accomplished bowler whose team won the United States Air Force World-Wide Bowling Tournament two times, while placing third in singles. He loved golf, fishing at Buckroe Beach and sweet potato pie. But mostly he loved his family and they loved him. “Yaya”as he was known by his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren helped raise three generations.
George ”Curt” was preceded in death by his wife Bernie Curtis, his parents John Chancellor & Nora Weedon Curtis, siblings Harold, John, Russell, Ashton, Mabel, Willard, Stanley, and Jean, a daughter in-law Nancy Payne Curtis and grandson Sky Charles Curtis.

Murray, Estella Curtis, Owen Curtis, Norah Curtis, Dylan Curtis, Adalynn Walls, Meredith Curtis, and Rosie Murray. All of his special nieces and nephews. Good friends Gerry Zirk, Pete & Julie Wesel, Adell Adkins and Pastor Tommy McDearis. Thank you to the special friends at Curt’s in Peterstown, WV who kept him entertained and gave him an enjoyment in life. He would visit them 3 to 4 times a week and was usually a winner.
A memorial service in his honor will be announced at a later date.

George and Bernie brought up a carload of family to my dad’s funeral all those years ago. They gave us support that we sorely needed and greatly appreciated. I will never forget it.

I have beautiful memories of Uncle George in his uniform and how fun Aunt Bernie was to be around. The family came to visit us in WV and the excitement was grand! You’re all in my prayers❤️🙏🏼
