George J. Williamson

George J. Williamson, 90 of Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he went to be with the Lord on July 31, 2026.

On January 20, 1936, George Joseph Williamson was born in Logansport. He was the treasured son of William Moses and Teresa Lafferty Williamson. George went to elementary school in Twelve Mile and graduated from Logansport High School with his class in 1953.

After high school, George answered the call of patriotism by becoming a member of the United States Army. Returning home following his honorable discharge he married Judy Hickman of Logansport in 1958. From their 18-year union came three wonderful children, Marc, Bruce and Diane.

In 1988, George married Jan Williamson of Culver and was happily married until she passed away on November 19, 2020.

With a strong work ethic, George worked at Delco in Kokomo as an electrician and served the company as a supervisor in several departments. He taught Junior Achievement and attended Trinity United Methodist Church in Rochester. George is best remembered as a superb DIYer possessing great skill with his hands blended with his supreme problem-solving abilities; he could fix, retrofit, improve or fabricate anything needed by his family or friends.

George is lovingly remembered by his children: Diane (Steve) Smith of Clawson, MI, Marc (Linda) Williamson of Rochester; five grandchildren:  Matt (Marci) Williamson, Alex Williamson, Marie Smith, Bruce Smith and Anna Smith; the mother of his children, Judy Williamson of Logansport; known as Uncle George to Anne McCune, Bill Davey, George Davey and Tere Takak.

Preceding George in death are his parents; his wife Jan Williamson; two sisters, Patty and Rosie; a brother, Leo; his son Bruce Williamson; and a nephew, John Davey.
