Born on April 19, 1940, in Moultrie, Georgia, he was the son of the late Robert Jefferson Stringfellow and Myra Louise Brown Stringfellow. A native of the Moultrie community, Gene was a 1958 graduate of Moultrie High School and furthered his education at Norman College. Gene proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard, a commitment that reflected his strong sense of duty and patriotism. Following his military service, he dedicated many years to the Department of Agriculture for the State of Georgia, where he worked as an inspector before retiring after years of faithful and dependable service.

He was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Moultrie. Gene possessed a deep knowledge of the Bible and had great faith in the Lord.

Gene was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and his greatest joy was time spent with his family. He especially treasured following his grandchildren’s activities, rarely missing an opportunity to support and encourage them. Family was the center of his life, and his love and guidance will continue to live on through them.

In his quieter moments, Gene found joy in the outdoors. He loved hunting and fishing, cherishing the stillness and reflection those moments provided. These times brought him peace and allowed him to appreciate God’s creation, which he held dear.

He will be remembered for his steady presence, strong work ethic, and a deep love for his family.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one of his best friends, Jerry Hammock.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Judy Brown Stringfellow; son, Kurt Stringfellow and wife Charlotte; Jill Stringfellow Mitchell and husband John; grandchildren, Lewis Stringfellow, Annabelle Grace Roberts, Bill Mitchell, and Bobby Mitchell; and brother, Hugh Stringfellow and wife Sheila.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to First Baptist Church, Moultrie, 400 S. Main Street, Moultrie, Georgia, 31768.

Arrangements entrusted to Baker Funeral Home & Crematory.
