He is survived by his wife, Shirley Vaughan, Union; by one son, Gary Vaughan and wife, Linda, Washington; by one daughter, Patty Robertson and husband, Tom, Rolla; by his mother-in-law, Arminta O'Halloran, Vienna; by one brother, Daniel Vaughan and wife, May, St. Clair; by two sisters, Jerleen Ricker, Columbia, and Lorene Hayes and husband, Stanley, Dixon; by five grandchildren, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives and many friends.

George was a Christian and enjoyed visiting many of the churches in the Franklin county area. He was employed for 20 years, by the Missouri State Highway Department, most recently working as a crew leader. George had a great love for bluegrass music and was a talented musician. His family loved to be entertained with his music, whether he was playing the guitar, fiddle of mandolin.
When he wasn't playing bluegrass, he was usually listening to it. Gardening was another hobby and he took great pride in the abundance of produce he raised.
George enjoyed working with wood and always seemed to have some woodworking project going. He liked to whittle and had the natural talent to create beautiful birds and other sculptures from raw wood.
Nothing meant more to George than the love of his family. Each of his grandchildren held a special place in his heart and he loved spending time with each of them. The love and devotion he has shown his family throughout his life will never be forgotten.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 1, at the Russell Colonial Funeral Home in St. Clair with the Reverend Glenn Hammond officiating, assisted by Bill Robertson. Interment was in Midlawn Memorial Gardens, Union.
