Mr. George Greenwood Jr.

Mr. George Greenwood, Jr. peacefully entered into eternal rest on Saturday, May 23, 2020 at his home in Lewisville, North Carolina. He was born in Lanett, Alabama on May 1, 1927, the second son of seven children of the late Alma Wilkerson Greenwood and George Greenwood, Sr. 

He was preceded in death by four sisters, Frances Greenwood, Ruby Morgan, Doris Patterson and Annie Carson; a brother, Frank Greenwood; a niece, Vendi Rei Henderson; and two nephews, Lonnie Morgan, Jr. and Leon Morgan.

At an early age he accepted Christ and united with the Goodsell United Methodist Church becoming a lifetime member. He graduated from Lanier High School and shortly thereafter was inducted into the United States Army during World War II. He received an honorable discharge upon separation. 

Mr. Greenwood is the father of three children, daughter Pamela Michelle Greenwood of Lewisville, North Carolina, son Ricardo Greenwood of New York, New York and adopted daughter Jacquelyne Collins of Richton Park, Illinois. He was addressed affectionately in the community as “Greenwood or Wolf” because of his effusive personality.

Those left with happy memories and expectations of meeting again include his beloved Pamela and son Ricardo and adopted daughter Jacquelyne; one sister Americus Gwendolyn Murphy, Southfield, Michigan; nieces and nephews Luanne Hawkins, Detroit, Michigan, Sandrae Patterson, Dayton, Ohio, Andrae (Vera) Patterson, Trotwood, Ohio, Lonnie (Angela) Morgan III, Montgomery, Alabama and Jessica Morgan, Lanett, Alabama; and a special niece in-law Phyllis Morgan, Lanett, Alabama. He was loved and will be missed by a host of extended relatives, friends, and caregivers.

Due to current social gathering restrictions, a private graveside service will be held on Saturday May 30, 2020 at Pine Hill Cemetery, Lanett 12 p.m. EST with Rev. Billy Drake officiating.
