Wynona Sorber

Wynona (Winnie) Sorber, 74, passed away at the Commons on St. Anthony, surrounded by those she loved on July 31, 2025. Born in Cortland, NY on February 5, 1951.

She was predeceased by her husband of over 40 years, Ernest F. Sorber Sr.; her mother, Careta Duprey; as well as a daughter, Tonya and stepdaughter Rebecca.

Winnie is survived by her three children, Charlottie (Thomas), Ernest Jr, and Charles Sr.; her stepson Forrest Sr.; her eldest granddaughter, Alivia (Tony) and several other grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as her siblings, Michael, Harold and Correnia, along with several nieces and nephews.

Winnie dedicated her life to her family and anyone that needed a place to stay, the door was always open. Her vibrant personality and unstoppable sass touched countless lives in her 74 years. With a passion for plastic canvas, watching forensic files, reading VC Andrews, doing her press-on nails, drawing and journaling, Winnie spent her last several years at the Commons and St. Anthony as a resident volunteer and friend to both residents and staff.

There will be no formal services held for Winnie and a private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

The family asks that those who knew and loved Winnie honor her by having her favorite meal, a supreme taco from Taco Bell and a Mountain Dew.
