George Sensaboy

In Loving memory of George W. "Buddy" Sensaboy

3/26/1940 to 01/21/2024

Buddy grew up in the Emory Heights community where he has had several friendships that have lasted his lifetime. They would roam the woods around their community, visit each other, and gather at each other's house. Sometimes at his house but at any of the homes they gathered in, the mom's would welcome and feed all the children.

At a young age Buddy loved hunting and fishing and that love stayed his entire life.

He attended South Harriman High School and took engineering courses at Roane State Community College. He served in the Army for 3 years, the last two of which he served in Germany.

After the Army, Buddy worked for the State of Tennessee highway Engineering department.

He then went to work with his father, traveling and building water and sewage plants. He then started working on his own as a superintendent.

His final construction job took him to Jasper, Alabama where he decided to take a long haul truck driving course where he and his family could stay to let his boys finish high school.

Some of the greatest influences of his life were the church families that he was blessed to be a part of. Emory Heights Baptist Church in Harriman, TN, where he spent his childhood. South Harriman Baptist Church, Harriman, TN. Then Farmstead Baptist Church in Jasper, AL. And Finally Canaan Baptist Church in Bessemer, AL. He made lifelong friends through the times spent with each of his church families.

While Buddy was homebound, he spent time on the phone with friends and family, loving them and encouraging them and praying for them.

Buddy was preceded in death by his parents; Ralph and Mae Davis Sensaboy. His brother; James Ralph "Jim" Sensaboy. His sister; Peggy Poland and her spouse Danny Joe Poland. Sister; Nancy Langley. Sister; Mary Ruth Barry. Niece; Christy Barry. Niece; Nikki Poland. And Brother-in-Law; Richard Collins.

The family will be receiving friends at Currie-Jefferson Funeral Home in Hoover, AL on February the 1st from 12pm-2pm. A funeral service is to follow after the visitation.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Canaan Baptist Church here.
