Yvonne "Suki" L. Jorgensen, 68, of Cheshire Township, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016, at her home.
Mrs. Jorgensen was born Feb. 9, 1948, in Allegan, the daughter of the late Jake and Dorothy (Weber) Mowrey. She was a Class of 1966 Allegan High School graduate and over the years initiated a luncheon group of her classmates. It was a fun group that would meet every few months just to stay in touch and update each other on their lives.
Yvonne was a member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Allegan. She also volunteered many hours in assisting with the Cheshire Township elections.
She loved being a homemaker and providing for her family, always showing them how much they meant to her. When she did work outside the home, she was employed by the Perrigo Company and the Chicora Store.
She had a wonderful way of dealing with people and those who came in contact with her always left more uplifted and happy. She had an easy spirit and shared her warmth freely with others, helping to make them happy.
Suki is survived by her loving husband Donald; their children, Sonia and Michael Anoskey, Nannette and Robert Lawrence, Chantel Freeman and Tanya Moore; seven grandchildren, Heather, Riley, Chandler, Jacob, Trevor, Gavin and Brandon; one brother Jake Mowrey; two sisters, Kristine Opas, Marleah and Rich Simons; two sisters-in-law, Margaret McCormick and Nancy Jorgensen; and several nieces and nephews.
Friends may meet with the family at Gorden Funeral Residence, Allegan Chapel, on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 1 to 3 p.m., where the rosary will be recited at 1 p.m. A Memorial Mass will be on Monday, Aug. 29, at 11 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. The Rev. Father Alan P. Jorgensen will officiate.
Memorials may be made in Yvonne's name to Benjamin's Hope in Holland, 15468 Riley St., Holland, MI 49424 and Wings of Hope Hospice, 530 Linn St., Allegan, MI 49010.
