Charter Member - US Army

David Lamar Mealor passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 25, 2017 at the age of 94. He will be forever remembered for his quiet strength, his sense of humor, and his sense of duty and loyalty to his family. David was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 62 years, Nelwyn Cobb Mealor, his parents Sabra Reynolds King and Walter Stone Mealor, and his brothers Walter Scott Mealor and Larry Reynolds Mealor. 

David was born in Newnan, Georgia on March 7, 1923. He graduated from Newnan High School in 1940, and joined the US Army. He served during World War II as a communications specialist in the 116th Field Artillery. He was proud that he worked for and retired from Delta Air Lines. He was also proud that he earned a law degree while working at Delta. After his retirement he was actively involved with Kiwanis, and did volunteer work with students in the local schools. He enjoyed telling stories about growing up in Newnan with the lumberyard as his playground, and sharing tales of his experiences in the Army. He was happiest surrounded by his family and watching the Golf Channel. 

David is survived by his 7 children, David James Mealor (Laurie), Mary Mealor Foster, Thomas Lamar Mealor (Frederica), Susan Mealor Guarnett, Martha Mealor Smith (Ron), Marguerite Mealor Carlton (Bill), and Matthew Scott Mealor (Julie). David is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and his nieces and nephews. 

A celebration of David’s life will be held at 1PM on July 29th, 2017 at the McRitchie-Hollis Museum, 74 Jackson Street, Newnan, GA 30263. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to Quilts of Valor, PO Box 114, Moreland, GA 30259. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.mckoon.com
