Sherlene Hunsaker Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Sherlene Carol Wilson Hunsaker returned home to her Heavenly Father on July 18, 2020 surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and brother. Sherlene was a welcome Christmas gift to her parents, Norman and (Francis) Elaine Butler, when she made her entrance into this world on December 24, 1939, in Salt Lake City. When she was 5, her family moved to California. Throughout her childhood, there were several moves in Southern California until eventually calling Alhambra home. Here, she attended 8th grade and would later graduate from Mark Keppel High School. Shortly after graduating from high school, Sherlene suffered a devastating loss when her mother unexpectedly passed away, leaving her with a desire to understand more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She began attending church in the Alhambra Ward where she would eventually meet her sweetheart Gordon Hunsaker. They were married September 5, 1959 and were later sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. In the years to follow they would become the parents of three daughters, Rhonda, Jolene and Melanie. Sherlene’s life was centered around a genuine love for her family, her Savior Jesus Christ, her many pets (all living things, really) and a profound appreciation for all of nature’s beauty. She found joy and fulfilment in raising her daughters and in doing whatever she could to help them reach their potential and develop their talents. Sherlene loved to travel and see new places and had a contagious love for Disneyland which she shared with her children and grandchildren. She loved gardening and made her home warm and inviting to all who visited. Sherlene was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had an unwavering testimony of Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel. She was a living example of understanding, kindness, integrity, compassion and unconditional love that shaped the character of those she touched. Sherlene is survived by her 3 daughters: Rhonda (Todd) Mortensen, Jolene (Ross) Ford, and Melanie Hunsaker, 14 Grandchildren: Brandon (Hope) Mortensen, Brady (Marcee) Mortensen, Jeffrey (Rachel) Mortensen, Crystal (Joe) Florea, Natalie (Nathan) Stevens, Ethan Mortensen, Kurtis (Megan) Ford, Cjirsten Ford, Bryce (Jessie) Ford, Shenise Ford, Ashley (Landon) Call, Breanne (Chase) VanSchouwenburg, Heather Ford and Cameron Ford, 22 Great Grandchildren: Ruby, Ryker, Ryland, Claire, Jane, Amy, Jade, Evalie, Annalee, Derek, Isaac, Joseph, William, James, Emily, Cambree, Kayden, Tyson, Austin, Stacy, Ryan and Ryker. A graveside service will be held Thursday, July 23rd, at 11:00 a.m. at the Logan City Cemetery, 1000 North 1200 East, Logan, Utah.
