George was born on March 7, 1922 to Ralph and Margaret (Hoffman) Ferderer in Mandan, ND. He was raised and educated in the rural Mandan area. George was a member of the United States Army and was a World War II Veteran. He met Ludmilla T. Fleck which was love at first sight, then married on October 15, 1946 and lived on a family farm where they raised their 6 children.
George was a hardworking and dedicated farmer retiring after 40 years on the farm. He loved the outdoors and was an avid birdwatcher. He was a jack of all trades and made many bird houses; his passion for life was never greater than when watching nature. George was an avid reader, he enjoyed playing pinochle, square dancing with Ludmilla, traveling and volunteered for Meals on Wheels. George was well known for his letters to the Editor in the Bismarck Tribune, the letters were always sure to cause a lively debate. Above all his family was central in his life; George enjoyed family get together and holidays.
George will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 68 years Ludmilla, Mandan, ND; daughers, Virginia (Victor) Wingerter, Bismarck, ND, Lucilda (Bruce) Herman, Bismarck, ND and Violet (Darryl) Landies, Mandan, ND; sons, Patrick (Bonnie) Ferderer, Bismarck Robert (Jane) Ferderer and George (Victoria) Ferderer, Jr. of Mandan, ND; 14 grandchildren, Vance (Shelley) Wingerter, Vanessa (Matt) Taylor, Todd (April) Ferderer, Scott (Katie) Ferderer, Ryan Ferderer, Tina (Rick) Block, Denise (Norm) Clark, Bob (Natalie) Ferderer, Mike (Dana) Herman, Tyler (Karissa) Herman, Jake (Kylie) Landies, Emmy Lou Landies, Matt (Kris) Ferderer and Lydia Ferderer; 13 great-grandchildren; sisters, Katherine Erhardt, Center, ND; sisters-in-law, Clara Ferderer, Mandan, ND and Irene Ferderer, Mandan, ND along with numerous nieces and nephews.
