George Andrew Terrell

George Andrew "Drew" Terrell, age 77, of Corbin, KY, passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at Baptist Health Lexington.

George was a man of the land, whose witty humor, generosity, and dedication made him a beloved figure to all who knew him. From the tender age of five, George found his calling on the farm, a passion that would shape his life and character. His love for hard work and service to others was evident in every furrow he plowed and every seed he sowed. Not only a farmer, George also lent his dedication to Pepsi Cola Bottling of Corbin, where he served as a production manager for an impressive 38 years.

Retirement did not slow George down; his love for farming and gardening, coupled with his regular bowling outings, kept him active and engaged. His robust laughter and quick wit were infectious, making him a joy to be around. George's generous spirit extended to his love for animals, with many a rescue finding a home on his beloved farm. But what truly defined George was his unwavering devotion to his family. To him, they were his world, his greatest achievement, and his most profound joy. A faithful attendee of Calvary Baptist Church, George's faith was a guiding force in his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Luster Orville Terrell and Camilla Arlene Campbell Terrell; special grandson, Gary Wayne Medlin; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and by his special cats and dogs, Theodore, Simon, Rocky, and Benji.

He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth Garland Terrell; daughters, Crystal Elaine Terrell-Lawson (Gary Wayne Middleton), Dana Arlene Terrell-Hart (Sonny Hart, Jr.), and Mattie Camilla Terrell; grandchildren, Lawrence Hart (Emily Hart), Jasmine Elaine Hart (Spencer Gallops), Kierra Aubrey Terrell-Middleton, and Keaton Fisher Lawson-Middleton; siblings, Betty Jean Terrell Reedy (Jim Reedy) and James "Jim" Luster Terrell (Kimberly "Kim" Farris Terrell); nephews and nieces, Aaron Anthony Reedy (Lindsay), Candice Renee Henson (Lane), and Brooke Ashley Terrell; great-nephews, Parker Henson, Tanner Reedy, Arden Reedy, and Nolan Reedy; special granddaughter, Mindy Medlin; special grandson and great-grandsons, Christopher Steven Middleton (Whitney), Bentley Cottrell, Jaxon Medlin, Bentley Middleton, and Lincoln Middleton; and his special cat, Alvin.
