George Joseph Ouimet

George Joseph Ouimet age 73, of Woodstock, Illinois passed away on June 24, 2024 at JourneyCare Hospice in Barrington, Illinois with his devoted family at his side. He was the loving son of Edwin and Virginia (Orlando) Ouimet, born on September 17, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois.

George retired in 2015 from the Standard Oil/Amoco and BP Amoco Corporations with 35 years of dedicated service. He worked at the Tulsa, Oklahoma Data Center as a Team Lead for Network Control and the IBM Data Center in Boulder, Colorado as a Team Lead for Computer Operations.

He worked very hard his whole life to provide for his family. You would never hear him complain about anything and focused his time with his family, his grandkids and going to the Casino. If you knew George, you would often hear him telling a joke or sharing one of his many stories about his past. George will always be remembered as a selfless and kind man and will be missed by so many.

George is survived by his beloved wife of 50 wonderful years, Georgetta A. (DeRose) Ouimet; his loving daughters, Lisa Welch-Ouimet and Angela (Steve) Gunn; his cherished grandchildren, Juliana Welch, Jackson Gunn and Brooklyn Gunn; his siblings, Edwin (Liz) Ouimet, Darlene Barrette and Shirley (David) Grott.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Ricky Ouimet and his brother-in-law, Tom Barrette
