George William O’Meara, 79 years old, of Ocoee, Florida
passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at Hospice of the Comforter
Florida Hospital Connected Care in Altamonte Springs, Florida after a
hard-fought, 16-month battle with leukemia.
George
was born on October 6, 1937 to Thomas Thedford and Flora Hazel Smith O’Meara in
Charleston, West Virginia. Soon
after, his family moved to Orlando, Florida where George attended Howard Middle
School and Edgewater High School. He went on to work full time at a dental
company and later established his own business, Central Florida Dental Supply Company
which he operated until two weeks up to his death, coordinating deliveries. George
shared his hunting hobby with son, Todd and enjoyed weekends at hunting camps
across Florida. He was also an avid gun collector and history buff. Along with
his work and hobbies, it was spending time with his family that gave George the
most joy.
George will be fondly remembered by his wife: Jeanette, children: Todd and his wife Asa, Shannon and Sarah Jean, brother and sister-in law: Mike and Jean, and nieces and nephews. He is also grandfather to Mallory, Cornelia, Amanda, William and Eleanor. He will be greatly missed by both family and friends.
The
family of George wishes to extend our sincere thanks to all the nurses, doctors
and staff at Florida Hospital South, Florida Cancer Specialist and FHCI
Radiation Oncology who provided care and support. Special thanks to Jean
O’Meara who accompanied George on all of his chemotherapy, radiation and blood
transfusions appointments. We are forever grateful.
The
family will receive friends from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, Wednesday, January 11, 2017
at Dobbs Funeral Home. Funeral mass will be held on Thursday, January 12,
2017 at St. Andrew Catholic Church at 10:00 AM with Father Leo Hodges
officiating.
