Our beloved mother, Jeannine Sorenson, from Mesa Arizona passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 18, 2025. Jeannine was born on June 12, 1939, in Albuquerque, NM to John and Sarah (Millie) Hogle. She has lived in Arizona since she was 2 years old. Jeannine was a beloved citizen of Mesa. To know her is to love her. She is the kindest person you’d ever meet and didn’t have a mean bone in her body.
She is preceded in death by her Eternal companion of 60 years, John Sorenson, her son, Jaren Sorenson, her son-in-law, Nicholas Trimmer Jr, her parents, her 2 brothers, and several more family members. She is survived by her son, John Sorenson Jr, daughters, Saralyn Rex (David), Sue-Ann Willis (Greg), and Sheri Jo Trimmer. Her 11 Grandkids, Derek Sorenson, Diana Sorenson, Chas Sorenson (Alannah), Parker Rex (Jori), M’Kayla Hustis (Kyle), Tatum Romney (Johnny), Trevor Willis (Ashley), Savannah Diaz (Johan), Sadie Willis, Cole Trimmer and Jacob Trimmer. Also, 9 great-grandkids and her sister Bertie Bowles as well as lots of nieces, nephews and many great nieces and nephews.
Jeannine was a very involved mother and grandmother, also known as Nene to her grandkids. Her favorite activity was attending her kids and grandkids functions, games, recitals, plays, and vacationing with her family in her favorite place, Carlsbad, CA. She enjoyed her days with her children and grandchildren and her beloved dog Rhone. She has built a wonderful legacy that will continue to live on. She will be sorely missed by all her family and friends.

Jeannine was a sweet friend. We raised our kids together in the Mesa 28th Ward. She had a beautiful smile and was always happy. She was one of my prettiest friends! My love and sympathy to all the family. ♥️
I love Jeannine and visited with her often over the last 5 years. Jeannine was always in a good mood, she loved to talk about her family and things from the past. She loved her dog and it was a blessing that she could have Rone with her in the care facility. I am happy I got to know her.
My love and deepest sympathy to all her family.
