Our mother, Frances Miriam Sorensen, passed away on Holy Thursday after a brief illness at the age of 97.
Throughout her life Frances was a living example of Christ by giving her time and talents to those who are less fortunate and underserved. Her home and heart were always open to everyone. She is survived by two sons and two daughters.

Frances was preceded in death by her husband Earl of 65 years, her son James, daughter in law Sarah Jean, and grandson Zachary.
The family would like to extend special thanks to Bonnie Wadlington for her special care and friendship, Laura Gellott, Heartland Hospice, and the staff at Parkview Assisted Living.
