Mr. George Convel Lane, 90, of Grenada, passed away Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at his residence.  Visitation will be held at 2:00 PM Friday, November 28, 2025 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada, with funeral services following at 3:00 PM in the funeral home chapel with Dr. Brent Barker officiating.  Interment will follow in the Grenada Memorial Garden.

George was born December 8, 1934, at Rosebloom to the late Edna Carpenter Lane and George Jenkins Lane.  He attended school in Cascilla and was blessed to live the great majority of his life in Grenada near close family and friends.  He married Janie Thomas of Grenada, and they were devoted to one another for 58 years until her death in 2011.  He joined the Mississippi National Guard while employed at McQuay International in Grenada, followed by Bryan Foods in West Point, MS.  In 1979, George founded Lane Wholesale Meat Distributors, a family owned business operating out of Grenada until his retirement.

Following retirement, he and Janie traveled extensively with church friends and family members, and they regularly visited Branson, MO for musical entertainment.  George was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church and savored family-centered Christmas gatherings.  He was known for his love of holiday get-togethers and continued to execute elaborate decorations and traditional meals for major holidays up until his death.  He was also a spirited Rook partner and never missed a good-hearted opportunity for a game of chance, fun and fellowship.

George will be greatly missed and remembered for his extensive carpentry, cooking, gardening, artistry, mechanical and handyman skills that he shared with many throughout his life.  His ability to create and fix most anything had earned him the well-deserved title of "Mr. Goodwrench".

George is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Janie Lane; brother, Henry Lane(Verna); sisters, Corrine Arendale(W.H.) and Luella Lane; son-in-law, Garvin "Leo" Deshler and a nephew, Billy Lane.

Survivors include his two daughters, Debra Deshler(Terry Jeffcoat) of Eupora and Cindy Dishongh of Brandon; son-in-law, Dr. Randy Dishongh of Brandon; grandson, Scott Deshler of Oxford; sister-in-law, Margie Tribble of Grenada; nieces, Pat Arendale of Atlanta and Peggy Tillman of Madison; nephews, Purvis Lane and Terry West both of Grenada and Hamp Arendale of Florida.
