George Silbernagel
U.S. Veteran
George Silbernagel, 79, of Corcoran, Minnesota, formerly of Napoleon, ND, passed away unexpectedly at his home on March 30, 2016.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 am Friday, April 8, 2016, at St. Phillip Neri Catholic Church in Napoleon with Father Ross Laframboise officiating. Visitation will be held 1 hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will be at St. Anthony Catholic Cemetery.
George was born on April 23, 1936 in Logan County to Anton and Anna (Horner) Silbernagel. He grew up on the family farm in Napoleon. George served two years active duty in the United States Army and received an honorable discharge in 1958. George eventually moved to Minnesota and settled down in Corcoran where he raised a family. George worked at Parke Davis for 14 years and General Motors for 21 years.
George is survived by his children, Pamela (David) Greengo, George Silbernagel Jr., and Vincent (Consuelo) Silbernagel; grandchildren, Seth, Jacob, Jasmine and Gabriel, all of Minnesota; siblings, John Silbernagel, Tony Silbernagel, Clem Silbernagel (Theresa) and Don Silbernagel; sisters, Ida Doll, Luella (Endel) Kent and Ann Woehl, all of North Dakota. He is further survived by step-children Mike (Lyn) Silbernagel, Jodi (Jim) Anderson and many nieces, nephews and cousins and their families.
He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers and one sister.
George was a generous man with a big heart who appreciated simple things in life: faith, family, and friends. He loved buying people a good meal or a cup of coffee…as long as he got to pick the restaurant. He enjoyed tending his yard and garden and created a lush oasis for the birds he enjoyed watching. George was fond of playing the guitar and friends and strangers alike were treated to many songs over the years. He was a fun grandpa who could run and play games with the best of them. George was always drawn back to the Napoleon farm for visits with his brothers & sisters. He frequently talked about his desire to retire to North Dakota but remained in Corcoran to be near his children. George disliked fanfare and being the center of attention. We know that it would be his desire to return to the serene countryside of Napoleon so we lovingly bring him home to rest in peace. He will remain in our hearts until we meet again. Thank you for everything Dad!
