Mrs. Sorrell was born Nov. 1, 1942, in Jacinto, Miss. She was a retired school teacher - having taught for over 40 years. She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark Sorrell; her father, Clifford Rinehart; and her mother, Vista Rinehart.
Survivors include her son, Nathan Johnson and wife Susan of Huntsville; daughter, Anita Denson and husband Mike of Decatur; two sisters, Laverne Bullock and Zelma Brimingham of Iuka, Miss.; grandchildren, Lauren, Caleb, Carmen and Caroline Johnson and Emma and Eli Denson; and two nieces and two nephews.
She was a dedicated mother, grandmother and teacher and will surely be missed by all those who she touched. Her smile was contagious.
Due to her having this illness, memorials may be made to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (www.theaftd.org). She dedicated her life to teach others for over 40 years. She taught those who others said could not learn anything. She saw potential in everyone and sought to bring it out.
