Margaret Eileen "Mickey" Jorgensen

1930 - 2020

On Saturday, April 25, 2020, Margaret "Mickey" Eileen Jorgensen (née Lemire), loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away at the age of 90.

Mickey was born on Jan. 27, 1930, in Hartford, to Raymond and Margaret Lemire. She grew up in Windsor, and on Sept. 2, 1950, she married Charles Jorgensen from South Windsor. She received her beautician degree in 1947, and she practiced as a hair stylist until 1958. They moved to Enfield in April 1956 where they raised a daughter, Eileen, and two sons, Michael and Eric. When Mickey entered heaven on April 25, she was reunited with her loving husband of 59 years, Charlie. She was a strong woman with a big heart, who never met a friend of her kids that she didn't look after like her own. She loved being with her partner and soulmate, Charlie, and we truly believe she is with him right now. We can only hope the martinis are flowing!

Mickey was preceded in death by Charlie in 2010. She is survived by her children, Eileen Bletz and her husband, Bob, from Conway, South Carolina, Michael Jorgensen and his wife, Wendy, from North Andover, Massachusetts, and Eric Jorgensen and his wife, Jan, from Enfield. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Stacy Chrzanowski (Craig), Alison Poltrino (Thomas), Robert Bletz (Danielle), Spencer Jorgensen, and Alexandra Jorgensen; along with her four great-grandchildren, Charlie, Bradlie, Silas, and Amelia. She is also survived by her brother, Edward Lemire and his wife, Joanne, from Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Given the current situation with the coronavirus, and for the safety of all, the family will honor and remember Mickey in a private funeral service. A memorial service and celebration of life for Mickey will be held at a future date.
