Jorie Lynn Manderfield

Jorie Lynn Manderfield, 37, of Woodridge, passed away on February 10, 2021 from complications caused by COVID.  

Jorie was a loving, patient and peaceful individual who took great joy in caring for others, especially young children. Upon graduating from Downers Grove South highschool in 2002, Jorie attended Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois graduating with an Associate’s degree.  She went on to join her mom’s licensed family child care business. Jorie recognized and treated each child as a blessing and could always find a way to make that special connection.   A crying baby was not something to stress over but a chance to cuddle.  Toys and games scattered about were not a mess but rather a day’s worth of fun. 

Jorie was also a life-long, active member of the Woodridge United Methodist Church (WUMC) serving on numerous committees, coordinating children’s ministries, assisting with online worship and regularly volunteering with the DuPage PADS shelter. If you did not see her attached to a WUMC initiative she was certainly helping behind the scenes. 

Jorie’s kind heart and desire to help others will be missed greatly by her parents, Mike and Kathy Manderfield, sister Kendra (Brad) Moore, brother Chris (Trudee) Manderfield, nephew Jackson Moore, nieces Isla Moore and Molly, Amelia and Natalie Manderfield, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  A celebration of Jorie’s life will be held at a later date at Woodridge United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the WUMC Memorial Fund in Jorie’s name.

She’s truly someone that will be missed by many. When a loved one is lost, the scripture at Psalms 34:18 has brought me comfort – God is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. My love goes out to you Mike, Kathy, Kendra and Chris.
