Gehrig-Stitt Chapel & Cremation Service, LLC is in charge of Brenda’s care and funeral arrangements.
Brenda was born December 18, 1961 in Wiesbaden, Germany to Roger and Norma (Ruppert) Sorge, where her dad was stationed in the Air Force. In 1964, her family returned to farm outside of Gurley. Brenda graduated from Leyton High School in 1980. The 80s also made her a mom with the birth of her daughters, Alison and Mindy, and was the decade she began her 33 year career with Crossroads Coop. She married her best friend and love of her life, Bill George, on November 21, 2003, and gained two more kids she loved as her own in Shawna and Brandon.
Brenda valued family above everything. She deeply cared about the work she did at Crossroads, ensuring every patron was treated fairly and with kindness. She was quick with her wit and smile - and if you got really lucky, her laughter. The world is quieter without her laugh. In 2008, she became a grandma and this was perhaps her life’s greatest work. She knew exactly what each grandkid needed, never lumped them together, was able to see their individual quirks, and promised she loved them to her last breath, “love you more”.
Brenda is survived by her parents, Roger Sorge and wife Phyllis Easley of Loveland, CO; husband, Bill George, of Sidney; daughters, Alison and husband Joey Mumaugh of Lincoln, and Mindy and husband Lee Wiegand, of Sidney; stepdaughter, Shawna and husband Josh Rowley, of North Platte; stepson, Brandon George, and his fiance, Sara Kromarek, of Lodgepole; grandchildren Kolton, Alayna, Barrett, and Hoyt Wiegand, of Sidney, Brecken, Jude, and Henley Mumaugh, of Lincoln, and Danika, Morgan, and Taylor Rowley, of North Platte, as well as many aunts and uncles, cousins, and close friends.
She was preceded in heaven by her mom, Norma Sorge, and her sister, Kellie Lippstrew. The reunion must be joyous - and full of that sweet laughter. We are filled with hope in knowing we’ll laugh with them again someday.
