George Wyant

George Elvans Wyant, 84, of Charlotte, died September 16, 2024, at Matthews Health and Rehabilitation Center in Matthews, NC. George was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on August 24, 1940, the son of George and Lucille Costanza Wyant. At the age of 16, he met the young Anna Marie Signore, whose family was renting the upper floor of his family’s home. She stole his heart and two years later, they were married. They were blessed with 65 years of marriage before he passed. George took a job with the US Postal Service as an on-call route carrier. As an on-call, he would report to the post office in the morning and gather with other on-call carriers. There, he and the others would wait to see if any regular route carriers did not show for work. If they did not, he and the other on-calls would be tapped to fill the route for that day. His dedication continued on even though some days he simply went back home, unneeded for the day. But George stuck it out, earning himself a full time position and eventually becoming appointed the Postmaster in Washington, PA. Eventually retiring from the USPS, he and Anna Marie moved to Charlotte in 1999. When not working, George loved to fish, was a gun enthusiast who enjoyed target shooting with his grandsons, playing Gin, and vacationing in “the Keys”, especially at Barb and Frank’s condo in Islamorada. Most of all, he loved the time spent with his family and friends. George is survived by his wife: Anna Marie; his children: Marla Hernandez of Charlotte and Frankie Wyant of Charlotte; grandchildren: Gregory (Nashaly), Anthony, Nicholas, and Kristina; one great grandchild, Angelita Marie Hernandez; and sisters, Barbara Riehle, Diane (Doug) Brown, Judy (Dennis) Tata. He is further survived by his sister-in-law Judith Wyant; his church family at St Luke Catholic Church in Mint Hill, his family in Pittsburgh, his wife's family who he treated as his own, as well as numerous other relatives and friends. George was preceded in death by his parents: a son, George; his son-in-law, Greg Hernandez; his granddaughter, Angelita; his brother, Fred Wyant; and his brother-in-law, Frank Riehle. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 1 pm at St Luke Catholic Church in Mint Hill. All services will conclude at the church.
