George Abner Hott, 97, of Moorefield, WV, went home to be with his Lord on July 24, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born January 30, 1928, he was the son of the late Donald Eugene and Edna (Poland) Hott and the devoted husband of the late Betty Carter Hott—the love of his life and wife of 74 years. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, Harlan and Warden; sisters, Marguerite Harper, Nola Clark, and Jean Halterman; and his beloved bonus grandson, James Brady.
A proud Moorefield native, George was a hometown hero whose name became synonymous with excellence, humility, and heart. A three-sport standout at Moorefield High School, he earned All-State honors in football, basketball, and baseball. His legendary athleticism led to multiple Hall of Fame inductions, a retired football jersey, and Moorefield’s baseball field being named in his honor.
