Born on February 02, 1938, in West Grove, PA, George was the son of the late George and Leta (Muckle) McCreary. Raised and educated in Indiana, PA, George attended Indiana Area High School and graduated in 1957. As a young man, George loved competing in sports. He was the fastest kid in school and excelled at track and field, as a wrestler, and on the football field. After High School, George went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps for 6 years. He worked very hard for many years as Director of Sourcing in international imports. Working overseas in Asia, George traveled from country to country making many fast friends among the native people. While George loved to travel, he also loved spending time at home tending to the garden or cooking. His greatest joy in life was his family. He was very proud of his children and always supported them as much as he could. George is survived by his wife Beibei McCreary, of Hampton, and his children, Lorelei Davis and her husband Spiro of Exeter, John McCreary of Seabrook, and Tiffany McCreary of Hampton.

During his illness, God showed his love for George several times when he was going through that difficult time. George’s brothers, William and Charlie would often share the gospel with him.
