George Harold Conner

George Harold Conner, born August 1, 1939, in Kansas City, Kansas, died peacefully at home in Casper, Wyoming on May 27, 2025 surrounded by his loving wife and children. He was 85.

George was the beloved husband of Linda Conner. In a love story for the ages George met Linda when he was 14 and they spent 72 years of their lives together, 65 of them married. He was the father of Gary Conner, Melissa Shelton, Jeannie Thieme, Heather (Douglas) Irvine, and Christina Jourgensen. He has 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, and a sister Terry Guckenbiehl. He also has many who consider him as a father and dear friend.

George was a counselor who served a term as the president of the Wyoming Psychology Board. During his term he represented Wyoming in Oslo, Norway. He presented professional papers at Oxford University in England twice. He cared deeply for each person who entrusted their stories to his care. If he was your counselor, he was always rooting for you.

He loved basketball, fly fishing, hiking and camping in the mountains, spending time with friends and family, and traveling the world with his wife. He loved the wonder of little children, tiny everyday miracles, silly and beautiful music, funny glasses, and kazoos.

He loved God and his church, Community of Christ. He held a deep and abiding Faith that blessed his home and his family and that carried him Home in the end.

On this earth, George loved most of all his wife, Linda. If ever two people wound their hearts and souls into one, it was George and Linda. Linda nursed George through his final years with a fierce and tender love. As Alzheimer’s stole his memories he never forgot his love for his soulmate. Every time he looked at her his eyes lit up and right to the very end he was asking for another kiss.

The family would like to thank Enhabit Home Health and Hospice for their care. In lieu of flowers they request donations to Alzheimer’s Association or Vibes Music Therapy Program.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30am, Monday, June 2, 2025 at Newcomer Casper Chapel. Click here to view  the live stream George at the service time, please visit
