In Loving Memory of George Randolph Albert, a devout follower of Christ, who passed away on Monday, July 29, 2024, at the age of 78.

He was born on October 14, 1945, in Zachary, Louisiana, to Andrew and Lular Albert. He accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and  was baptized at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Scotlandville, Louisiana, in 1964. He graduated from Cheneyville High School, Zachary, LA, in 1964. He enrolled in Southern University in 1964 but later transferred to S. V. Toddy Business College, receiving a B.S. Degree in Business Administration with honors in 1967.

Ryan and Addison Head Start Programs employed him as an Office Manager. Upon moving to Albany, GA, George was employed by J. C.
Penney in the Shoe Department. He was hired by Moore Business Forms and worked in the Shipping Department. Finally, George was hired at Albany State University as a Security Guard in the Campus Police Department.

George's life was a living testament to his unwavering faith. As a faithful member of Saint Teresa's Catholic Church, he served as an
Usher and lived a life guided by the teachings of the Bible. His strong faith was not just a belief, but a guiding light that influenced every
aspect of his life. He dedicated himself to spreading God's love and forgiveness to all who crossed his path, leaving a lasting impact on
everyone he met.

He was a loving spouse to Estella, whom he met in 1966 when she dialed the wrong number and married her in 1969. So, for over 55
years, George shared his unwavering faith and commitment to God with his family. He was a source of strength and inspiration to his son,
Donnie Albert (Kelly), god-sons, Allan Graves (Rev. Chinester), Pastor Lawrence Knighton (Dr. Tracey), god-daughters, Greta Wheeler, Mrs. Annette Holloway, and Dispatcher Cpl Jordan, grandchildren, Leigha, Faith, Charlee, and god-granddaughter, Jennifer John Knighton, sister, Roberta Tate, god-sisters, Mary Harris, Geraldine White, Vontressa Kinson (Ron) and nieces Rev. Shirley Levy, Rev. Loretta Albert, Mrs. Shelia Green, Mrs. Yolanda Albea (Dennis) and Josephine Tate. Nephew Mr. Brandon Cody (Jasmine).
George was known for his contagious smile, never meeting a stranger, selflessness, incredible patience, and always making time to help others within the church, Albany State University, and the larger community.

He always extended a helping hand to those in need, embodying the spirit of Christ's teachings. He also had many special friends whom he would call and check on regularly: Mrs. Virginia Seabrook, Mrs. Patty Crawford, Mrs. Joyce Griffin, Mrs. Janice Hodges, Miss Yolanda PRECIOUS MEMORIES Amadeo, Mrs. Gwendolyn Proctor, Mrs. Renita Ellerson, Miss Mary Ellerson, Father Robert E. Chaney, Rev. Deacon Jay Dallas, Rev. Deacon Columbus Carter (Angela), Mrs. Ruthie Simmons (Vision Leader Curtis), Mrs. Mary Jones (Dr. T.

Mrs. Renita Ellerson, Mrs. Gwendolyn Proctor, Mrs. Delores Rowe, Miss Mary Ellerson, Mrs. Doris Wilson, Mrs. Judy Jones, Mrs. Constance Williams (Gerald), Rev. Deloise Colemon, Rev. Deacon Hosea Bennett, and neighbors Mr. Michael Dye (Regina), Mr. and Mrs. James, Rev. and Mrs. Severson, and Mr. and Mrs. Duncan.

George was preceded in death by his father, mother, and older siblings, Rev. Gleonard Albert, Evangelist Audrey Mae Tate, John Albert, Willie Albert, Joe Albert, Lee Oscar Albert, Thomas Albert, and Ramond Albert. He is survived by nieces, Dr. Julia Battle (Dr. Earnest), Cynthia Johnson, Mary Gordon (Craig), Dr. Mable Moore (Darrel), Shon White, Valerie Coleman (Ronald), Tonya Evans, and Rev. Greta Johnson.

Though George may no longer be with us in body, his spirit lives on in the hearts of all touched by his love, faith, and compassion.

We take comfort in knowing that he is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father and has joined the Great Cloud of Witnesses, where he will know eternal peace and joy. Amen
