On March 6, 2019, surrounded by members of his family, George Bitson was received into the arms of his loving Creator. Having celebrated his 90th birthday on January 22nd, and his 64th wedding anniversary with Ora-Lynn (Riker) Bitson on February 26th, he now celebrates his reward of eternal life. He joins his parents, Arthur and Cista (Rought) Bitson, and his siblings Audrey, Beatrice, Dennis, Robert and Gary. Remaining to celebrate his life are his beloved wife, Ora-Lynn, his children Greg Bitson, Brian and Cathy Bitson, Marsha and Chuck Woolley, and Lori and Bill Hawkins. Those claiming him as their loving Grandpa include: Geoff, Aubrey, Alyssa and Molly Bitson; Tim and Christina Bitson and Ryan and Tyler Silvernail; Cody, Will and Mitch Hawkins. He is also a great grandpa, with another soon on the way. George is also survived by his two sisters, Joyce Irons and Lois Aguire. George's primary work was with Gerber Products, both in Fremont and Allentown, PA. His primary love was his family, and his primary avenue of service was through the United Methodist Church and the Lion's Club. George also served in the Army during the Korean War. His memory was amazing, his advice always helpful, his desire to provide for his family a priority. He was an accountant, an artist, a carpenter, and a pretty mean harmonica player! Most of all, he was a steadfast presence in the lives of those who were privileged to be his family. We will celebrate his life on Sunday, March 10th at 3:00 pm at the Fremont United Methodist Church 351 Butterfield Fremont MI 49412. Visitation will begin at 2:00 until the service begins. Interment will be in the Fremont United Methodist Church Memorial Garden at a later date. Those wishing to pay tribute are invited to consider a donation to Newaygo County Compassion Home – Hospice Home.
