Coral Sorensen

Coral Sorensen, 82, of Palm Coast, Florida, entered eternal rest on June 26, 2025, due to complications related to Alzheimer's Disease.

Born on April 10, 1943, in Passaic, New Jersey, Coral was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt. She touched countless lives with her infectious personality, love of life, and laughter—and she always gave the best advice.

She taught herself how to play the piano and guitar, as well as how to knit and crochet. She sang in her high school and church choirs and spent many happy hours in her garden. Coral loved to be around children, babies and animals. She had a gift for turning strangers into friends with just a smile and a few kind words.

Coral was preceded in death by her parents Henry and Hjordis Sorensen; siblings Harry Sorensen, Evelyn Justesen, Earl Sorensen, Raymond Sorensen and Fern Sorensen.

She is survived by her children Eric (Sandra) McLaughlin of Santa Rosa, Ca, Colleen (Andrew) Newman of Palm Coast, Fl, and Curt (Samantha) McLaughlin of Hidden Valley Lake, Ca; her grandchildren Chris, Nick, Brenden (Brittany), Perry (Courtney), Luke, Erika, Austin and Savannah; great-grandchildren Kamden, Hank, Nolan, Makenna, Cora and Preston; and many nieces and nephews.

“I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” John 8:51
