James Dastrup Sorensen's Obituary
St. George, Utah
- Our loving husband, father, and grandfather, James Dastrup Sorensen, passed away on November 3, 2017 at the age of 83. He was born November 2, 1934 in Glenwood, Utah to Juanita and James Lyman Sorensen. He was raised on a farm in Glenwood, which instilled in him a love for the outdoors where he spent much of his life with his children and grandchildren.
James is the fourth of Juanita and James Lyman's eight children. He married his high school sweetheart, Gloria Greer in January of 1952 in Richfield, Utah, later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. They settled in Lindon, Utah, where they had nine children. He enjoyed his occupation as a butcher until his retirement at the age of 80. James was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he fulfilled many callings over his life. James's fun and loving spirit brought joy and laughter to all and will be sorely missed.
James is preceded in death by his parents; his brothers: Larry and Wendell Allen; sisters: Chona Lee Hiel and Lujuana Funk; as well as a son-in-law, Hal; and four grandchildren.
He
is survived by his wife, Gloria; and nine children: Jeanette Hilton (Lynn), Janeen Anderson (Gaylon), Julie Christiansen (Randy), Jana Madsen (Rick), Jamie Bennett, Joleen Lundell (David), James (Tina), Jason (Tracy), and Jennifer.
