George G Lemist

George G. Lemist, 77, long-time resident of Malden, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on May 28th 2024. The son of John and Marie (Laudato) Lemist, he was raised in Charlestown, MA. George graduated from Boston Technical High school in 1966. He was drafted and proudly served his country in the U.S. Army 199th Light Infantry Brigade 1967 -1969 during the Vietnam War. In 1972, he married Mary (Sullivan), and they remained happily married for the rest of his life. They settled in Malden to raise their two sons, Justin and Michael.

A printer and bookbinder by trade, George would be better defined by his role as a dad and by his hobbies. He liked wood working and was an avid Bruins Fan. But most, he loved fishing, boating, and camping with his family and many friends in Maine at Kokatosi Campground, his cherished home away from home for 40 years.

George is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Lemist, his son, Justin Lemist, his brothers Thomas Lemist and his wife Betty Ann of Carver, and Paul Lemist of Australia, his sister-in-law Judy Lemist of New Hampshire, his brother-in-law Rick Bolz of S. Carolina, his daughter-in-law, Denise Berry of Michigan, and many other family members and friends. George was predeceased by his son Michael, his parents John and Marie, his brothers John, Robert, Michael, and his sister Annmarie (Bolz).

Visitation for George will be held at the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, 144 Salem St, Malden Tuesday June 4th from 10-12 with a prayer service at 12 followed by interment at Forest Dale Cemetery in Malden.
