George E. Kauffman, 84, of Beaver, passed away peacefully on November 3rd, 2026, at Arden Courts (King of Prussia).

He was born in Rochester on November 5th, 1941, the son of the late Charles and Genevieve Kauffman.

George was a very proud veteran of the United States Army, having served in Heidelberg, Germany. He was a civil engineer, graduate of University of Pittsburgh, and his most notable career achievements during his time with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were contributions to the Israeli Air Force Bases Project in the Negev Desert from 1980-1981, the San Antonio Riverwalk Flood Control project, as well as several other flood control projects in the Southern United States. After retiring from his engineering career, he led his own landscaping company in Columbia, Maryland and then moved the operation to Beaver in 2008. He was known around town as a friendly neighbor, for having extraordinary flower gardens, and creating elaborate Christmas light displays. George was a member of the Beaver Borough Shade Tree Commission, Beaver County Crime Solvers, and supported his community by attending many Beaver Borough Council Meetings advocating for his town. He also was an avid Pittsburgh Sports fan, specifically for his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, and a supporter of Scouting America. He will be remembered as a loving husband of 60 years, father, and grandpa.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Thelma Kauffman (2025).

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Marie and John Hellgoth of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, his son and daughter-in-law, Matthew and Tandy Kauffman of Apex, North Carolina, and four grandsons: Nicholas Hellgoth, Christopher Hellgoth and his wife, Megan and Nathan and Michael Kauffman.
