George Andrew Curb

Funeral service for George Andrew Curb, age 88, of Quinlan, will be held on Sunday, May 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM at First United Methodist Church of Quinlan with Pastor Don Robinson officiating. Visitation will take place one hour prior at the church. Burial will follow at Memoryland Memorial Park in Greenville.

George Curb was welcomed into his heavenly home on Thursday, May 14, at the age of 88. A devoted husband, father, grandpa, and friend, George lived a life defined by faith, hard work, generosity, integrity, and deep love for his family.

George is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years, Mary Jenice, whom he married on September 7, 1957. They built a beautiful life and raised three children: Teresa, Linda, and their late son David.

He is survived by his daughters Teresa Ogletree and husband Gary, Linda Butler and husband AE, and daughter‑in‑law Cynthia Curb. George’s legacy continues through his grandchildren: Melissa Siebenhausen and husband James, Leah Patterson and husband Drew, Angela McDowell and husband Damon, Amy Hammond and husband Craig, Amanda Morris and husband Kevin, Christy Asebedo and husband Eric, Jonathan Curb, Aaron Butler and wife Mia, Kevin Curb and wife Jillian, and 15 great‑grandchildren, all of whom brought him tremendous joy.

George was preceded in death by his parents George and Annie Curb, his sisters Lois Love, Frankie Love, and Emma Jean Cain, and his son David Curb.

For 30 years, George worked at Texas Instruments, supervising in electronics. After retirement, he became well‑known as “the key man” at trades day, where he made countless keys and friendships. A man of remarkable skill and determination, George built his own home and helped many family members build theirs. He also used his talents to serve his church family in various capacities.

He raised cattle, repaired anything that needed fixing, and most recently took great pride in restoring his father’s 1941 GMC truck.

George loved spending time with his grandchildren — giving golf‑cart rides, teaching them how to use tools, fix things, care for livestock, ride a bike, hunt deer and wild hogs, build tree stands, and even drive a standard‑shift truck in the open pasture. He enjoyed attending livestock auctions, playing 42 with friends, camping, and going to Bluegrass festivals. His lessons were practical, patient, and full of love. He passed down not only skills, but values: hard work, kindness, and the importance of family.

Those who knew George will remember him as steady, generous, and endlessly capable—a man who could build, repair, or solve just about anything, and who always made time for the people he loved.

George will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who knew and loved him. His hands built homes, fixed what was broken, and lifted others up. His heart shaped a family and a community. His legacy lives on in every life he touched.

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!
