Georganne Savitt (Lipshie) age 91, of Minnetonka, MN passed away on June 20, 2020 after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Born and raised in Des Moines, IA, she attended the University of Minnesota where she met and married the love of her life, Arnold. Together they began their adventures first in Phoenix and then Los Angeles, ultimately landing back in the Twin Cities where they raised their three children. Georganne was a masterful copywriter and enjoyed creating beautiful invitations and cards for friends and family. She also was known for her amazing and sometimes proprietary creations in the kitchen as a cook, baker and candy maker. She cherished her loving friendships over many luncheons, card and mahjong games. Unassuming by nature, she was determined, witty and exceedingly gracious until the end. Preceded in death by parents Joseph and Mae Lipshie, beloved husband Arnold. Survived by brothers Ken (Sharon) Lipshie, Steve Lipshie; sisters-in-law Carolyn London and Judy Dodd; children Lori (Frank) Weisel, Gregg (Debra) Savitt, Diane (Steve) Kohen; grandchildren Travis and Brooke Kraft; Adam and Hannah, Jonathan, and Maddie Savitt; Joe and Jack Kohen; great-grandson Sylar Kraft; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will miss her dearly.
