George Hinds Obituary
George A. Hinds, age 75 of Elwood, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, September 4, 2020 at Miller’s Merry Manor in Tipton following a brief illness. He was born January 29, 1945 in Tipton, the son of Don and Harriet (Emehisen) Hinds. George was a 1963 graduate of Tipton High School. After graduation, he proudly enlisted in the U.S. Army. He married the love of his life, Emma G. Curtis, on October 28, 1967 and they shared over 51 years of marriage together until her passing in 2019. George most recently worked as a general assembler for 10 years at the Indy Lighting division of Schneider Electric in Indianapolis until his retirement in 2010. He previously worked at Mac Tools as a mechanic, and was also skilled as a carpenter for many years. George formerly owned a 1929 Ford Model “A” that he completely restored and proudly displayed in numerous car shows. He was an avid NASCAR fan and especially enjoyed driver Bill Elliott collectibles. George remained a patriotic veteran his entire life, and he was always supportive of our troops. He was also a devoted Green Bay Packers fan and enjoyed woodworking in his spare time. More than anything, George loved his family and enjoyed spending as much time as possible with them. He will be greatly missed.
George’s family includes his daughter, Shannon (husband David) Hinds-Hammitt of Elwood; brother, Mike (wife Janie) Hinds of Windfall; sister, Karen Kilfoil of Tipton; and several nieces and nephews. George was preceded in death by both of his parents; his beloved wife, Emma Hinds; son, Gabriel Todd Hinds in 2016; brother, David Hinds; and 2 sisters, Sherry Gasho and Emily Bowlby.
Per George’s wishes, cremation will take place and a private graveside burial of his ashes will take place in the Elwood City Cemetery. Military Honors by the U.S. Army and Elwood V.F.W. will be conducted at the cemetery. Copher-Fesler-May Funeral Home has been entrusted to handle George’s final arrangements. Memorial contributions are suggested to the Elwood Animal Shelter through the funeral home. Online condolences and memories may be shared at copherfeslermay.com.

Hi, my name is Emily. I took care of George at Miller’s before his passing. I wanted to share my deepest sorrows. He was such a kind man and so incredibly gentle and respectful to all of us ladies. I also was there until his last breath. Which, for as sad I was, I was honored to do it because I knew how he liked his beard routine! He never stopped talking about his stories and never stopped talking about his family. He loved all of you so much. That was always evident when he and I shared our life stories. He truly was a crowd favorite to the girls and aides who took care of him everyday. My prayers are with all of you and with George. As an aide, I’m supposed to not get attached but he will always be a resident that I miss dearly. Thank you for letting me care for him. Take care.
