Chelsea Layne Sorensen

Chelsea Layne Sorensen, 22, of Twin Falls, ID, formerly of Nampa, ID, died on Friday, December 21, 2012, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Chelsea was born in Boise, ID on May 23, 1990, to Sheryl Carlson and Roger Sorensen. She grew up in the Meridian and Nampa areas. Chelsea was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served in many callings. She graduated from Columbia High School in 2008, graduated from Treasure Valley Community College in 2010, and was about to begin the final semester of her Bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Technology from College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls. Chelsea became excited about anatomy in high school, and it helped her excel in her college studies. Her first bid for her spot at CSI was not successful, so Chelsea studied for and received her CNA designation. She was a dedicated student, retaking several courses to be able to have enough points to qualify for the program at CSI. From a very early age, Chelsea loved taking care of children and endeared herself to countless families. She enjoyed snowmobiling, snowboarding, waterskiing, and scrapbooking. Her favorite vacation spot was any place where she could enjoy the mountains, rivers, and wild life. Her physical beautiful was accentuated by her spiritual beauty, evident in her radiant smile and the twinkle in her eyes. Chelsea was compassionate and had a loving heart for her family and friends. With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of a lovely young lady who had so much to offer us with her personality and kindness. Chelsea is survived by her parents, her siblings, Fisk Sorensen, Ryan, Paul, Matt, Austin, and Amanda Roney, Brian Sorensen, and Darla Thomas; her grandparents, Ben and Lynette Airhart of Boise, ID, Cliff and Naomi Carlson of North Augusta, South Carolina, and E. Blaine and Jeanie Sorensen of Eagle, ID, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and great friends. Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 27, 2012, from 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM at the LDS Chapel /Stake Center at 3904 Greenhurst Road in Nampa. Chelsea’s funeral service will be held Thursday, December 27, 2012, at 11:00 AM at the same chapel. A private family burial will follow at Kohlerlawn Cemetery in Nampa.
