Kelly Sorensen Obituary
Dec. 17, 1980 - May 17, 2019
GRANGER, IN - Kelly Erin Sorensen, born December 17, 1980, passed away peacefully at her home on May 17, 2019. While her general passions included photography, crafts, psychology, and science, her deep love for her children, flowers, and Labor Studies really brought out the sparkle that was uniquely her. She wanted to enlighten the world in favor of all the hard-working people that make our society go round. Sadly, she didn't have the time to conquer that dream but cherished the opportunity to teach it at Indiana University whenever possible. Kelly was preceded in death by her grandfather Bill and her love will be deeply missed by her surviving children, Kyle, Hannah, and Nathan; their father Steven; her stepchildren, Mikayla and Tyler; her brother and sister, Ben and Elizabeth (Dustin); her mother and stepfather, Dawn and Tom; her grandmother Addie; her aunt and uncles, Jacquie, Shawn, and Audie; her niece and nephew, Hallie and Christian; her lifelong friend, Suzy; and by her husband, Eric. While cancer might have taken her life, it will never steal the love all of us have, and will continue to have, for her.
Kel, my beautiful wife, your peonies will forever bloom in all our hearts and your wisdom in our minds. A Celebration of Life will be held at Bubb Funeral Chapel, 3910 North Main Street, Mishawaka, Indiana on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 from 4:00pm until 7:00pm.

The most beautiful person I know.
Almost a year later and your passing is still just as raw as the day you said goodbye. I love you Kelly! I will cherish every memory of you, especially the last special moment I had with you the day you came home from the hospital.
You are my role model and the world is missing a genuine angel without you here.
You made my life better!
Love you always your lil sis

Eric, I was saddened to see Kelly's obituary in the paper. Although I never met her, I saw Mikayla and Tyler as stepchildren and knew she was yours. I hope you had wonderful years together and that your fond memories will keep her alive in your heart. Sincerely,
