Til We Meet Again, Br. George Ringwood

Longtime B7 Ward member George Ringwood passed away peacefully on May 6, 2015 at the age of 88 and surrounded by his family.

Born in 1926 in Salt Lake City, George grew up in a happy home, then joined the U. S. Navy, where he served for 24 years and through three wars.  When he was honorably discharged, he took a job with the U. S. Postal Service.  In 1984, he and his wife Colleen Ballinger, whom he married in 1948 and was later sealed for eternity in the Los Angeles Temple, retired to St. George. Colleen passed away in 2011 but together they have a family legacy of four children, 20 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great grandchildren.

In 2013, George met and married Helen Baker Howard.  George’s favorite hobbies were golfing, playing card games, yard sales, spending time on the family’s Bryce canyon property, eating out and being in the company of family and friends. George had a big love for life, a great sense of humor and a witty personality which endeared him to everyone he met.

Br. Ringwood, we did not know you well, but you will be missed among the membership of the B7 Ward.   Til we meet again ...
