Norma Jean Funk

Centerfield, Utah - In memory of Norma Jean Sorensen Funk, who passed away June 28, 2022, in Centerfield, written by myself. I was born February 28, 1936, in Centerfield, Utah to Gordon William and Margaret Tassie Sorensen. It was a leap year, and I was born at 11 P.M. so I missed being a leap year baby by one hour. I had 2 sisters and 1 brother. Sisters: Lois Donna (Kurt) Sorensen; Margaret Ann Sorensen (Lloyd) Kofford. Brother: Robert Gordon Sorensen. I married Alvin Odell Funk, who I later divorced. We had one child together, Gordon Kay Funk, who we love so much. I went to Centerfield Elementary School and Gunnison Valley High School. I attended Utah State University and Snow College. My employment has been Pacific Trails, Shaheen’s, Norbest Turkey Plant, Sperry-Univac, and Gunnison Valley Hospital Daycare. I loved the children so much and was thankful for the job. I loved music and was a singer and could play the violin. I lead the music in Primary, Sunday School and Relief Society and the ward choir for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I enjoyed serving in the church. I dated Donald Follett for 11 years and he passed away in July of 2017. We had many fun times together. I am survived by my son, Gordon Kay (Shawna Lynn Davis) Funk; grandson, Christopher Kay (Emily Beebe) Funk; their children: Sophia and Stella Funk; granddaughter, Melissa Ann Funk (Bret James) Foust; their children: Fallen and Kingston Foust; My sister: Lois Donna Sorensen, and her children: Douglas and Bruce Sorensen; son-in-law: Travis Simper.
