Obituary for George Franklin Herring
George F Herring was born on Saturday, November 5, 1932 to the late George W. Herring and Leslie A. Herring in Lessie, Florida. He answered the call of God and peacefully passed away on the morning of Thursday, January 10, 2013 in Jacksonville, Florida.
George and Margie Herring were joined in matrimony on June 10, 1960.
George attended school in Nassau County, Florida and finished his education at Peck High School in Fernandina Beach, Florida. George entered the U.S. Army in 1954. He served in the Korean War and Vietnam War with distinction. He earned the Bronze star medal for valor, Purple Heart medal, Combat Infantry badge, as well as the covenant Combat Air Borne Badge. He retired after 21 years. He continued to serve his country at the United States Post Office for 20 years.
George accepted Christ at an early age. He was ordained as a deacon at First Baptist Church, Yulee Florida under the leadership of Rev. W. P. Smith in 1985. George was the Director of the #1 Choir. He was also ordained as a minister at First Baptist Church, Yulee FL under the leadership of Rev. Smith in 1994.
