LIMINGTON- George Everett Long, born on January 10, 1956, to Earl and Leona Long, passed away peacefully at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House on 10/21/2026. Raised in Portland, Maine, George attended local schools and built a life defined by perseverance and loyalty to those closest to him.
George shared a lasting and devoted marriage with his beloved wife of 52 years, Norma Pomerleau Long. Together they built a family that George wholeheartedly loved.
At the age of 27, George's life changed forever following a devastating automobile accident that left his right arm paralyzed and caused decades of chronic, debilitating pain. Yet those who knew George knew that he refused to let his circumstances define him. Through every challenge, he demonstrated remarkable strength, resilience, and determination. His stubborn nature, while sometimes tested, became one of his greatest assets, helping him face adversity head-on and continue living life on his own terms.
George enjoyed life's simple pleasures. He loved playing cards, especially poker. He was an avid fan of boxing. He enjoyed spending hours watching old westerns and playing games on his computer. Fishing brought him peace and happiness, offering time to enjoy the outdoors.
George was predeceased by his parents, Earl and Leona Long; his sisters Lenora and Pricilla; and his son, Jeremy Long.
George is survived by his loving wife, Norma Long; his children, Carey and Amanda; his grandchildren, Rachel, Abby, Cassidy, Kendra, Jayson, Joel, and Chloe; his great-granddaughter, Micah, his brothers Earl and Richard Long, several close nephews and a special niece, Anna along with numerous other relatives. He is also is survived by his long time best friend Bruce Norberg.
Losing someone who carried so much strength through hardship leaves a space that cannot be filled. George's story is one of resilience, devotion to family, and a determination that never wavered despite life's challenges.
