Georgia L. (Lorentz) Dorsey was born April 21, 1934, at Loup City, to Arnold “Gus” and Erma (Prasse) Lorentz. Georgia grew up in Loup City and graduated from Loup City High School in 1952. On May 29, 1952, Georgia married Harold Dorsey at her home in Loup City. They lived on the Dorsey homestead farm near Arcadia. In 1959, they moved to Loup City with their three sons where they owned and operated the Dorsey (Cook) Ericson Implement business. In 1964, they built and owned the Trade Winds Marina at Sherman Lake and later owned and operated the Colony Inn in Loup City. In the 1980s, the Dorseys lived in Saudi Arabia for several years where Harold installed pivot systems and grain bins. Harold later developed a farm for a Saudi Prince. While overseas, they traveled to China, Belgium, Switzerland, and England. They loved traveling throughout the United States with their friends, Donna and Russ Ericson. During the 1980s they also owned and operated The House of Meats in Loup City with Dick Bossen.

Georgia was baptized in 1937 in the First Presbyterian Church and was a member of the Presbyterian church in Loup City. After its closure, she attended the United Methodist Church in Loup City where she was very active. In 1977, she was the first woman to become an EMT in Loup City. Georgia volunteered in many different ways. She was active and past president in the Eastern Star and P.E.O. She volunteered at Rose Lane Home in Loup City for ten years and received the Ak-Sar-Ben Good Neighbor Award. Georgia also served on cemetery and election boards and was president of the Loup City Alumni Association as well. Every year at Christmastime, Georgia gave a Christmas program for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the Dorsey family gathering. In 2007, with the help of her friends, she fulfilled her dream of decorating the Bennett Park on main street in Loup City for Christmas and the Fourth of July and that tradition continues on today. Georgia was an avid reader and loved crocheting and playing bridge with friends.

Georgia is survived by her four sons and daughters-in-law; Kim and Cathy, Tim and Tracey, Craig and Theresa, all of Loup City, and, David and Kim Snyder of Plattsmouth; eleven grandchildren; and twenty great-grandchildren.

Georgia was preceded in death by her husband, Harold; parents, Arnold and Erma; sister and brother-in-law, Virginia and Don Phelps; granddaughter, Gina Dorsey; and great-granddaughter, Marie Holmquist.
