Alayna Sorensen Obituary (2017 - 2019)

Our sweet baby girl, Alayna, finished her earthly mission on Saturday, March 23 and returned home to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father and Jesus, and her family members waiting for her there. Alayna was born May 13, 2017. She began her life with many health struggles, and traveled to Primary Children’s hospital. At three weeks old she was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, Dysphagia and heart failure. Her beautiful grace and smiles helped all of us through her surgeries to fix her heart, that was successful. Her beautiful smiles and eyes full of love made you smile no matter what kind of day you were having. Her siblings adored her, and loved to hold and play with her. She snuggled and laughed, and enjoyed everything and everyone in her life. Her sweet spirit filled our home and all of our lives. Our arms feel empty, but we know her beautiful spirit will be close by until we can hold her again. Alayna is survived by her parents, Max and Jenny Sorensen, brothers Bret, Bryan, Tyler and Dallin, and sister, Jocelyn; her grandparents Dee and Ellen Sorensen of Cedar City, UT, and grandmother Peggy Twitchell of Monroe, UT, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins. She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Dick Twitchell of Monroe, UT. Funeral services will be on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Enoch Stake Center (2233 E Village Rd, Enoch, UT). Visitation will be on Friday, March 29, 2019 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm and on Saturday, March 30 from 9:30 – 10:30 am at the Enoch Stake Center.
