Georgia L. (Lorentz) Dorsey was born April 21, 1934 at Loup City, Nebraska 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 she married Harold Dorsey at her home in Loup City. They lived on the Dorsey homestead farm near Arcadia, Nebraska. 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 1980’s they 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.
