Lisa Sorensen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 16, 2021.

Lisa Sorensen
September 17, 1961 - April 21, 2021
Sacramento, California - Lisa MacKenzie Sorensen of Sacramento, California suffered a stroke on April 17, 2021 and passed away on April 21, 2021, at the age of 59. Her loving family and dear friends are deeply saddened.
Lisa was born on September 17, 1961 to Norman and Betty MacKenzie in Sacramento, California. After graduating from John F. Kennedy High School, she went on to work at several different positions in the medical supply industry. She was in customer service at Baxter Healthcare, a sales and field service representative at Cardinal Health, and a sales representative at Owens and Minor. During her last several years in the workforce she joined Trader Joe's as a proud crew member and enjoyed interacting with customers and co-workers.
Lisa was an amazing mother and a faithful friend with an immense force of compassion and positivity combined with a sparkling and hilarious wit that would make everyone laugh.
Lisa is survived by her cherished daughter, MacKenzie Sorensen, former husband, John Sorensen, her life-long extended family, the Iida's and several nieces and nephews.
Contributions in memory of Lisa can be made to a GoFundMe account kindly organized by Trader Joe's for MacKenzie. There will be a Celebration of Life for Lisa with details communicated to friends in the near future.

Lisa was a warm bright ray of sunlight that enriched every life that was fortunate to pass her way. Oh the music that we shared. I taught her how to listen to a guitarist speak. Lisa taught me how to dress so she could show me to her friends hahaha. I fell in Love so hard and so easily with Lisa. She was "the one" however as life turns, I wasn't her destiny. Her child, that's you MacKenzie, was always her dream. We would find each other and catch up as years went on. Last I spoke with her she shared how we are old and fat now and burst out in that laugh. I was so happy hearing her talk in depth about MacKenzie. She was strong, driven and so full of joy for life. No one ever made me feel so special as she did.

Lisa was such a kind soul. She was always positive, generous and helping others. She was so funny and such a joy to be around. I will always remember our trips to the Grand Wailea in Maui and to Lake Powell! Her laughter and smile will be missed by all. Lisa's beauty will live on in her beautiful daughter Mac! Love you and Mac! Mona Gergen

Words can't describe what a impact you forever left on my heart and soul. Your energy was unmatched. You and me were quite the pair from day one. I'll forever be glad I gave you a application to work at TJ'S and found a best friend and co-worker in you. You showed me what having fun was all about every day. I loved every single phone calls and will hold on to your voicemails and texts forever! I'm a better person because you loved me so unconditionally ❣ I'll miss you forever and I'll be sure Presley knows who you were to me and anyone you came across! ❤❤❤

Oh Lis,
I am forever a better person for having known you! You came into my life when Mac and Ari were just babies and we had so many things in common...but the one that began our deep friendship - was our love of Brie cheese!!!

Ari and Mac got to spend time together as we laughed and appreciated all the humor in each day. Your smile and vivacity will forever be remembered and honored by this friend - and I will miss your whirling dervish of fun and candy whenever you made an entrance.

Your heart was so kind and so full of love for everything - most especially Mac. There was never a time we spoke that you didn't mention your love for Mac. You were a great example to all of us to find the joy in everything.

I will miss you forever Lis. Thank you for making me better by knowing and loving you, my friend. ♥
