StaffOwner & Funeral Director
Mahatma Gandhi once said “My life is my message.” This is true for all of us, and as a funeral director, Angie Sirrine knows how important each life message is. For Angie, it is not about mourning the death, but celebrating the life and sharing that message.
Born in St. Johns, Michigan, Angie shared her childhood with her two brothers and one sister. She loved sports, especially football and basketball, but her greatest love is golf. In fact, if you happen to visit the Clinton County Country Club, you might see that Angie was the Club Champion, not once but twice.
After high school, Angie enrolled at Lansing Community College for her pre-mortuary studies. Her father, Robert Sirrine, owned Osgood Funeral Homes in St. Johns and it just seemed natural for her to follow in his footsteps. But Angie will tell you that she didn’t choose to be in the funeral service, it chose her and became her life’s goal. To achieve this goal, Angie continued her studies at Wayne State University, graduating in 1976 with her degree in Mortuary Science.
With degree in hand, Angie began looking for a job. Her boyfriend wanted her to stay in the St. John’s area, and working in the family business sounded like a pretty good idea, so, as they say, the rest is history. Angie is the fourth generation of her family to work in the funeral business and is dedicated to providing grieving families with the care and compassion they deserve.
In 1998, Angie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, limiting her physical abilities but certainly not affecting her ability to meet the needs of the families she serves. Coming to work everyday, Angie tends to the day-by-day duties of a funeral director, but sees her real purpose in giving each family the complete attention and care needed to celebrate the life of their loved one. After the death of her good friend, Nancy in 1986 and then the passing of her beloved father in 2003, Angie came face-to-face with how important what she does is to grieving families.
Proud to be part of the Life Story family of funeral homes, Angie knows that Life Stories change the funeral service from mourning a person’s death to celebrating and sharing the message that was that person’s life. For her, Life Stories help to ease the family through one of life’s most difficult times.
