Mr. George Albert Powell of Springhill, AL, passed away Friday, March 20, 2026, at the Serenity South Senior Living in Troy. He was 95. Graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, March 23, 2026, at Hamilton Crossroads Church of Christ Cemetery with Preacher Rodney Tidwell officiating. Burial will follow with Skeen Funeral Home of Troy directing. Visitation will be held from 12:30 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. Monday, March 23, 2026, at Skeen Funeral Home.

Mr. George Powell was born March 28, 1930, grew up in Brundidge Alabama, married Ethel Richardson and they shared two sons, Billy Steve and George Stacy. As a young adult, George and his brother, Mixon, joined the army together, served time overseas and returned as Vietnam War Veterans. Upon that return, George worked for The State of Alabama for many years and made lifelong friendships being there. He enjoyed spending time with many friends and opened a business in Troy with his oldest son Steve. He shared the love of animals with his son, Stacy. He raised many farm animals but his favorite was obviously his bulldogs that all happened to be named after him in some way or another. George loved the outdoors. You could pass by or drop in for a visit and as long as the sun was out, you’d find him in his yard swing or on the front porch in his rocking chair. He loved riding his tractor and fishing with his grands and great-grands. He frequently walked down to the pond and tossed food out for the fish.

George was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Eva Powell; his two brothers, Jack Powell and Mixon Powell; his two sisters, Maynell Smith and Gladys Medley; the mother of his two sons, Ethel Powell, as well as his sons, Steve Powell and Stacy Powell.

George is survived by his sister, Dora Willoughby; his grandchildren, Ashley Powell, Shelley Powell Sanders, and Seth Powell (Nicole); his great-grandchildren, Breanna Sanders Axton Sanders, Cameron Powell, Blakely Powell and Oakley Powell.

Thank you to Ann Johnson for the years of cooking and helping our Pepaw. We would like to recognize Jean Haisten, Pepaw’s special friend, who has been by his side for many years and John Willoughby, Pepaw’s nephew, for joining in taking care of him over the last few years.
