Georgie was born on July 1, 1939 to Alexander and Stella (Westwood) Pierson, in Mitchell, SD. She attended school and graduated in Alexandria, SD. She married Herbert Joseph Sibson on October 2, 1957 in Mitchell. They lived in various towns, including Philip, SD, Midland, SD, Pierre, SD, Fort Pierre, SD, Tucson, AZ and Omaha, NE. While Herb farmed thousands of acres both east and west of Pierre, Georgie supported their large family as a stay-at-home mother. Later, she worked as a secretary at the Pierre Elevator, was a cook for the Pierre School system, and was a switch-board operator at St. Mary’s Hospital.
Georgie enjoyed spending time with her family and helping Herb raise their 7 children. She loved traveling (or more like “tagging along”) with Herb, spending time with friends, cooking, gardening, golfing, and volunteering her time at the Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church with Catholic Daughters. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who lived her life and faith by example for her family.
She is survived by her children; Julie (Mark) Dunham, Greg (Laurie) Sibson, Brad Sibson, Cheryl Reed, Diane Pfeiffer, Connie (Tom) Askew, and Eric (Julie) Sibson. Georgie was also blessed to be survived by her 17 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Georgie was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, her parents, her brother Bill Pierson, her sisters Catherine Kurtenbach, Violet Kautz, and Alice Freidel, and her Great-Granddaughter Jasmine “Jazzy”. Georgie is once more side by side with her loved ones in their heavenly home.
