George Albert Nordan

George Albert Nordan, 85, of Cumming, GA passed away April 7, 2024. Mr. Nordan was born in Needham, AL to the late George and Vergie Whittington Nordan. George served in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged as a Sgt. before joining the National Guard. Mr. Nordan owned a gas station, worked at a paper mill for over 40 years, and also worked at Target in his retirement. Everywhere he went, he impacted people and was loved. 

He loved Jesus, his family, and Alabama football. George served his local church until his health declined when he would then watch multiple online services every Sunday. His greatest source of pride was seeing his family living lives for Christ and when they could all get together and celebrate. 

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Jean Nordan; children and their spouses, Georgia and Ken Peckett, Gray and Michelle Nordan, Ginger and Johnny Mendoza, Geanna & Alastair Wilde; sisters, Mary Turner, Sylvia Clark; 8 grandchildren (Breanna O’Bryan, Hannah Peckett, Christa ElMansy, Rachel Peckett, Grant Nordan, Isabella Peckett, Micah Mendoza, and Jubilee Wilde) and 2 great grandchildren (Griffin and Joanna O’Bryan).

Verse: Psalm 84:1-4 “How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God…Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.”
