Mary Jo Dorsten, age 79, of Caledonia was called to be with her Irish family in heaven on Saturday, February 26, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Marvin; parents, Joe and Margaret Corrigan; sister-in-law, Patricia (Virgil) Behr. She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Lori Dorsten, Thomas Dorsten; grandchildren: Keagen and Kennedy; brother, Michael (Carla) Corrigan; brother-in-law, James (Ruth) Dorsten; many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Mary Jo was a devoted Catholic born with a servant’s heart. She and Marvin had a marriage of love. She enjoyed helping others and would do almost anything for those in need. She volunteered to help special needs and physically challenged children and adults by taking them to church and fun events like the circus. She was the glue that held the family together. For Mary Jo, family, especially the grandchildren, were top priority. She enjoyed golfing, painting landscapes and scenes, visiting Meijer Gardens and Siesta Keys, FL. Blessed with her Irish heritage, the family suggests a toast to Mary Jo on St. Patrick’s Day, Mar 17, 2022. In accordance with Mary Jo’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held 11 am on Friday, May 20, 2022 at Holy Family Church, 9669 Kraft SE, Caledonia with Rev. Michael Cilibraise.
