George Edward Cochran

George was born in Pounding Mill, Virginia in 1940. He had many fond memories of the time at home and with his siblings.

George enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1958. In the 1960’s, while stationed in Germany, George met his wife, Walburga.

The couple went on to have three children, providing many years of memories and family traditions.

They spent time living in both Germany and the United States, finally settling in Bell County, Texas.

He was a Vietnam veteran and went on to retire from the army after many years of dedicated service. During retirement, he worked as a motorcycle safety and defensive driving instructor at Fort Hood.

He also enjoyed riding horses. He and his wife often hosted trail riding events at their home. Other passions included wood and leather working. George frequently made little gifts for others, especially his grandchildren.

To George, his family and friends meant the world to him. He was one of a kind and full of jokes. He was always happy to lend a hand and would assist you, even if he was already busy.

We will miss this man and the contributions he made to our family and the community around him.

George is proceeded in death by his beloved wife, Walburga. He is survived by their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Along with a brother, nieces, nephews, and many others who loved him.

If you would like to honor George, the family suggests donating to the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Association.
