Herman Talmadge Guest, Sr.

Herman Talmadge Guest, Sr, 87, of Carlton went home to be with Jesus with his family by his side on March 29, 2021.

Herman was born September 1, 1933, to E. S. “Van” Guest and Beulah Graham Guest. He was the youngest of fourteen children.

He is survived by his precious wife of 68 years, Frances Rucker Guest of the home and five children: Herman (JoBeth) Guest, Jr. of Carlton, Theresa (Bryan) Hicks of Hartwell, Chris (Loretta) Guest of Carlton, Mark (Sandra) Guest of Elberton, and Susan Guest Childers of Colbert. He is also survived by one sister, Margie Dudley of Carlton. He was a wonderful Papa to eighteen beautiful, smart grandchildren and six great grandchildren who adored him.

Herman was an honest, generous, hard-working man who loved the Lord with all his heart. He enjoyed life on his farm with his wife by his side. Whether it was planting a garden, baling hay, working on a fence, tending cows, or fishing, his hands were always busy. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
