Lou Ann Sorg

Lou Ann Sorg


If you’re about to throw away an old zip lock baggie, STOP. Consider: Lou Ann Sorg who entered eternal life on Friday, July 24, 2020. Her spirit is carried on by her husband, four children, three grandchildren, two siblings and an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Lou Ann during her 66 years, among them: always reuse zip lock baggies until they fall apart, when you have a little bit of paint left in multiple cans mix them together to make enough to paint a room, if there is an empty surface in your house there must be a knickknack placed there and always keep a full pantry and freezer you never know who might come to visit. Lou Ann was born on March 25, 1954, in Big Timber, Mont., to Herman and Betty Smith. She was the sister to an older brother, Tom, and a younger brother, Kenneth. In August of 1976, Lou Ann married Todd Sorg in Sioux Falls, S.D. Lou Ann had a passion for gardening, projects, animals, rocks and most of all people. All whom loved her dearly will never forget her strength, quick wit, never ending pranks, kindness and love for them. She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, gardener, homemaker and wife. Lou Ann walked each day with the Lord and took comfort in his guidance, strength and agape love. Every day, she strived to be more like Him and exercised her God given talent of serving and loving others. She was known for her ease in frequent conversations with even total strangers. Take a constant interest in the needs of god’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home. Romans 12:13 There will be a graveside service held at the Vida Cemetery in Vida, Mont., at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2020, with a celebration of life following at the Vida Catholic Church at 1 p.m. (Paid Obituary)
