God in His infinite wisdom, wonderfully blessed the union of Sam T. Solomon, Sr. and Alma Ruth Solomon with the birth of a son.  Born February 12, 1951 in Sumter County, Georgia, they named their blessing, George Alma Solomon.

A product of the Sumter County School System, he earned his GED in 1972 from South George Technical College.

At the age of 12, he united with the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Plains, Georgia.  Later in life he united with Healing Temple Ministries, Inc. under the leadership of the late Bishop P. J. Welch and the late Supervisor L. R. Welch.  He accepted the call to pastor in 2012 under the leadership of the late Apostle R. E. Welchin.

Never a stranger to work, our beloved husband and father, was employed as a Technician with Weyhauser now International Paper Co. for 32 years.  He retired in 2012.  In 1980 he started his own business, Solomon's Landscaping.  He passed the business onto his son upon his retirement in 2012.

On Tuesday, September 19, 2023, because he saw what we could not see and heard a voice we could not hear, he transitioned from this life to life everlasting.  He is preceded in death by his father and his grandparents, Mattie Bell Sanders, Bob & Carrie Sims-Solomon, and Al Dotson.
