(Nee Gumbiner) lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives. On Saturday, December 11, 2021, Nita, loving wife to the late Milton Soref and cherished mother to Ellen Soren, Douglas Soref (Cathy) and Marcia Soref, passed away at the age of 95. Nita was adored by her grandchildren, Scott Soren (Teresa), Meredith Soren Freese (Chad), Maryn Soref, Rylan Soref (Emily) and Colton Soref. Nita also leaves behind seven great-grandchildren, Sadie and Ryan Soren, Sloane and Elle Freese, Eloise, Catharine Evans and Mabel Soref, all of whom she touched with her generosity and zest for life. Nita was a cherished friend to so many and deeply valued her friendship and the care provided by Vantana Tucker.
Nita led by example and impacted so many through her thoughtfulness, generosity and philanthropic spirit. Nita served on the Board of Directors of both the Milwaukee Ballet and Florentine Opera and will have a lasting influence on both the Milwaukee and Palm Springs communities. On any given day you could find Nita cheering on the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers or watching tennis. She was an avid moviegoer (which she inherited from her late mother and father, Sadye and Max Gumbiner) and loved attending the Palm Springs Film Festival. Nita will be remembered for her giving spirit and ability to connect with people and make them feel loved. She cherished her role as the matriarch of the family, and approached life with integrity, generosity and dignity.
