An expanded story about Jeanette's life is being written. Please visit again to read more...
Jeanette Marie Sorensen, age 82 of Jenison, passed away January 10, 2026. Jeanette was an excellent example of kindness and caring. Her greatest gifts were her family and friends, but she also found her vocational calling as a Speech Pathologist, working for over 35 years in Cedar Springs Schools as well as a few “retirement years” at Kellogsville. She was a longtime member of Trinity Lutheran Church.
She is survived by her daughters Beth (Joe) Heyboer and Jennifer (Dan) Strockis; grandchildren: Cameron (Kali) Jones, Lauren (Corey) Broschak, Cody (Charlie Jordan) Heyboer, Alyssa and Ty Strockis; great-grandchildren; brothers: Steve (Myrna) Steelandt and Dan (Patsy) Steelandt; as well as nieces and nephews.
In her last months, she was blessed with the wonderful care, support and love from the angels at Green Acres and Faith Hospice.
The service to remember and celebrate Jeanette’s life will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 11 AM at Heritage Life Story Funeral Home - Alt & Shawmut Hills Chapel, 2120 Lake Michigan Drive. Friends are invited to visit with her family beginning at 10 AM, and for a time immediately following the service. Jeanette loved nature and animals, and her family suggests memorial donations to the Humane Society of West Michigan.
