George W. Armstrong, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away into the arms of our Lord on September 10, 2026 at age 95. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, George lived a life full of love, service, and dedication that touched the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
George was preceded in death by his dear sister, Doris McCarthy, and his foster sibling, Margaret Newell. He is survived by his devoted wife, Monica (Flynn) Armstrong; his children, George Armstrong, Jr. and his wife Kymberly, Judy Armstrong, and Linda Lombardi Azanow and her husband David; and his treasured triplet grandchildren, Jake Azanow, Katie Azanow Muller and her husband Justin, and Adam Azanow. George also leaves behind close friends, Pastor Jack and Corrine Beals and family, and Jared and Adrienne Wheeler and family.
A proud veteran, George honorably served his country during the Korean War for five years, demonstrating his unwavering commitment and courage. Following his military service, he dedicated over three decades of his career to the Brockton Housing Authority, where he retired as the Supervising Maintenance Foreman. His work ethic and leadership left a lasting impression on all who worked alongside him.
George was a man of deep faith and a founding member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Brockton, where he found great joy in sharing God's Word. Over the years, he distributed over 5,500 Gospel tracts, spreading a message of hope and love to his community. He was also an active member of the West Bridgewater Council on Aging.
In his leisure time, George found peace and happiness in nature. He was a passionate vegetable gardener, taking pride in the bounty he cultivated each season. He also enjoyed fishing along the Cape Cod Canal, a pastime that brought him tranquility and joy.
A service to honor George's remarkable life will be held on September 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church, located at 92 Alger Street, Brockton, MA. Visitation will be from 10-11 at Immanuel Baptist Church immediately prior to the service. There will be a burial with military honors immediately following the service at Pine Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Immanuel Baptist Church in Brockton, MA, ensuring that George's legacy of faith and community service continues to thrive.
George's warmth, humor, and steadfast love will be dearly missed, but his spirit will continue to shine through the lives of those he touched. His memory will forever be a blessing to his family and friends.
