Christine Sorrells Obituary
Born April 5, 1940, to the late Donald and Grace Chastain Kell, Christine was a woman of quiet strength, deep faith and boundless love. She was preceded in death by her husband, Huel Warden Sorrells in 2015; sisters, Katherine Crisp, Shirley Moore and Janice Kell; brothers, Elmo Kell and Jerry Kell; and stepmother, Rea McConnell Kell.
Christine is survived by her devoted children, Fredric (Cynde) Wilson Sorrells, Phillip Huel Sorrells and Cynthia (Rodney) Sorrells Cooper; cherished grandchildren, Isabella and Connor Cooper; loving sisters, Carolyn (Doug) Keener and Marilyn Jenkins; stepbrothers, Charles and Sam McConnell; stepsister, Emma Miller; dear in-laws, Jerry (Kay) Sorrells, Robert Sorrells and Robin Sorrells; many nieces and nephews; her caretaker, Kathy Barnes; and extended family who will miss her deeply.
A member of Mashburn Branch Baptist Church, Christine found joy in life's simple pleasures, crossword puzzles, crocheting, reading, gardening and shopping. She was known for her quick wit, warm heart and the laughter she brought to those around her. Above all, she was a fun and loving mother and grandmother whose legacy of kindness and humor will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Visitation was held from 4 to 6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23, at Macon Funeral Home. A funeral service was held at Macon Funeral Home Monday, Nov. 24, at 1 p.m. Burial followed the service at Sugarfork Baptist Church Cemetery.
