George Henry Maginnis, age 91, of Spring Hill, Tennessee, died Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at his residence.
George was born August 9, 1932, in New London, Connecticut, to the late Arthur E. and Marguerite Sullivan Maginnis. He was a University Professor at Western Carolina University for many years after receiving his Ed.D. from Ole Miss. He was an avid runner from the age of 40 to age 80.
