It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of George S. Powis, Sr, age 94, on August 13, 2025. A devoted husband, father, grandfather and cherished friend to many peacefully departed this life.
George was born in Mt. Carmel and moved to Bucks County, where he worked as a Master Carpenter in the remodeling industry most of his life. He lived a full and meaningful life marked by quiet strength, unwavering dedication to those he loved and a generous spirit.
George left behind his loving and devoted wife, Kathleen `Powis. He was the proud father of six children, Elizabeth Jane Detweiler, Pittsburgh, sons, George S. Powis, Jr., Quakertown, Jeffrey Powis and his wife Debbie, Telford, William Powis and his wife Jennifer, Green Lane, Mark Powis and his wife Shirley, Telford and Mary Gerhart, Quakertown. George, known as “Pop-Pop” had thirteen grandchildren and was predeceased by his cherished grandson, Justin, whose memory he held close to his heart. He was always moved by the thought that he was blessed with eighteen great-grandchildren. George adored his friend Amber Evert and her daughter Aliyah Hixson of Mt Carmel. All of whom carry on his legacy of resilience, kindness, and integrity.
George will be remembered for his humor, positive attitude, his commitment to church, golfing, woodworking and a good game of pinochle.
“Don’t do anything I didn’t teach you or you won’t have any fun!!!” was Dad’s favorite saying.
