Georgine Maxine Kisely Anderson, 79, Sioux Falls, SD formerly of Winner, SD, began her sentimental journey with the Lord on March 14, 2010, surrounded by her family at Sanford USD Medical Center.

Georgie was born on October 10, 1930, in Lake Andes, SD, to Anton and Josephine (Varilek) Kisely on the family farm North of Lake Andes. She attended Midway Country School in Goose Lake Township through the eighth grade and high school in Lake Andes. She married Ray “Andy” Anderson on September 19, 1946, in Eagle Grove, Iowa. They spent most of their married life in Parkston and Winner. While raising four children, she supported her husband in establishing their jewelry business, Andy’s Jewelry. Georgie spent many hours assisting customers and supporting the business community of Winner.

Georgie, lovingly known as “General Georgie” by her family, enjoyed hosting her family and friends with food and fellowship. She loved cooking her Bohemian heritage foods, including dumplings and kolaches, and donating her famous popcorn balls which were the hot item at her church bazaars. She was known to share her colorful popcorn balls with friends and relatives on every holiday. Her social activities included bowling, golfing, and any card game she could work her way into. She entertained herself by making side bets on sporting events with her family and friends. She also loved visiting with fellow Czech’s in her native tongue.
