Concord, NH – George C. Coronis, 88, of Concord, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Thursday, June 4, 2026.
George was born in Newport, New Hampshire, to the late Charles G. and Efstathia (Constantacopoulos) Coronis. As the first generation of his family born in America, he carried a deep appreciation for his Greek heritage throughout his life.
George dedicated more than 40 years of service to the State of New Hampshire. He began his career in the Forestry Department before joining the Legislative Budget Assistant’s Office, where he spent most of his career serving as Legislative Accountant.
George found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He was an avid gardener, talented woodworker, and passionate fly fisherman who enjoyed tying his own flies. Sports remained a lifelong passion, from his youth through adulthood, when he played softball, basketball, and volleyball. He also treasured family camping trips, hikes, and time spent at Lake Francis in Pittsburg, New Hampshire.
Above all, George’s greatest joy was his family. He loved gathering with generations of nieces, nephews, and their children, and he rarely missed an opportunity to support his granddaughters at their sporting events and celebrations. Nothing brought him more pride than watching the young women they became.
In addition to his parents, George was predeceased by his brothers, Spiros, James, John, Angelo, and Christos, and by his beloved in-laws, Leopold F. and Elizabeth (Howell) Knebel.
George is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Carol M. (Knebel) Coronis of Concord. Together since junior high school, they shared a lifetime of devotion. He is also survived by his daughters, Kimberly Coronis of Penacook and Kristin Coronis Jacques of Pembroke; his granddaughters, Kelly and Courtney Jacques; their fiancés, Collin Justin and Trent Tougas; and many nieces and nephews.
Services will be held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Audubon Society, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, or simply by planting something that brings you joy.
The Waters Funeral Home in Concord has the honor of assisting the family with George’s arrangements.
