George Barbary III, 72, of Newport, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at his home.

George was born on February 26, 1954, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, to the late George Barbary Jr. and Elaine Barbary. He spent his early years there before answering the call to serve his country. George proudly served over 20 years in the United States Marine Corps, including time stationed in Japan. His dedication was a defining part of his life. Following his military retirement, George continued to serve the community through his work at the Cherry Point Commissary, where he worked for 10 years.

He enjoyed watching sports, especially NASCAR and football, and could often be found working on puzzles or relaxing with word searches. George cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren, who brought him much happiness. A resident of Newport since 1999, George will be remembered for his strong work ethic, love of family, and faithful service to his country.
