Rori L. Rosenthal, 51, of Mecosta, passed away on Thursday, January 9, 2025. Born on November 16, 1973, in Huntington Beach, California, she was the daughter of Jim and Denise Macha.

Rori dedicated much of her career to healthcare, finding purpose and peace in helping others. Beyond her professional life, she was a vibrant soul with a warm, bubbly personality and a happy-go-lucky spirit. Her infectious smile, laugh, and even her one-of-a-kind sneeze left lasting impressions on everyone she met.

She found joy in traveling, crocheting thoughtful gifts for her loved ones, and spending time outdoors camping. Rori was an avid collector of elephants and had a special love for butterflies, symbols of her vibrant and free-spirited nature. A true friend to all, her compassion and warmth touched countless lives.

Rori is survived by her beloved daughter, Holly (Cole) Lawrence; her precious granddaughter, Athena; her mother, Denise; her grandmother, Barbara; her half-brother, Jimmy; her stepmother, Syndi; her significant other, Jason Taylor; and many extended family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Jim.

A celebration of Rori’s life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of  Daggett Gilbert Funeral Homes, Big Rapids.
