George Frederick Pinckney, 82 of Perry, Michigan, went home to be with Jesus on December 2, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Webberville, MI to the late Fred and Bertha Pinckney.

He was a loving husband to his wife of 60 years, a devoted father of two, a proud grandfather and a great-grandfather. Perhaps his greatest "calling" of all was to be faithful as a Christian. He cared for people and had a big heart for those less fortunate.

George began his working years as a barber in Perry, MI and ultimately retired from General Motors in Lansing, MI. George and his wife, Lea, have been avid gardeners during their retirement years. Other hobbies came and went, and George enjoyed too many to count.

George, was wise and learned constantly. He enjoyed learning how things work. He was a family man that worked hard, lived generously, provided for his family and loved his home. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

In life and in death, George followed Jesus.

George, is preceded in death by: his parents; and his older brother, John Pinckney. Left to cherish his memory are: his loving wife, Lea; daughter, Kathy (Dennis) Perkins of Hamilton, MI, and Duane (RaeDeane) Pinckney of Highland, MI; six grandchildren, Kristy (Chad) Sloan of Indianapolis, IN, Kent (Susan) Perkins of Carmel, IN, Bethany (TJ) Willink of Grand Rapids, MI, Cameron Perkins of Holland, MI, David (Amanda) Pinckney of Clovis, NM, and Michael (Jessica) Pinckney of Holly, MI; ten great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Iris Pinckney of Perry, MI and Wanda Nash of Howell, MI; and several nieces and nephews.

The family is being served by Riley Funeral Home, and a service will be held at a future date for immediate family.
