(From Ulmer Funeral Home)Philip Alan George, 76, of Carthage, Missouri, passed away on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at his home. Alan was born on December 16, 1948, in North Bend, Oregon, to Caraway and Idella Louise (Chilton) George.
Alan graduated from Yreka High School in Yreka, California, then went on to receive his associates degree from Crowder College and Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, Missouri. He joined the Army and served with Company B, 39th Combat Engineers during Vietnam. He worked in construction, as a ranch hand, and as a forest ranger.
Alan was with the Forestry Department of Oklahoma for 10 years. He has lived in Carthage since 2001 and is a member of the Jasper VFW, which is where you could find him most of the time.
He was a quiet, but funny man with jokes that would have you rolling on the floor crying from laughing so hard. He loved going to the casino and getting Vanilla Bean ice cream from Braum’s. He loved each and every one of his grandkids greatly.
