Patricia J. Soderlund
October 2, 1931 ~ December 1, 2011 (age 80) 80 Years Old
Pat was a classy, vibrant and welcoming woman. She twinkling Irish eyes, broad smile and open heart reflect the love she brought to the world and all those with whom she shared her life. We are priviliged to have had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Pat and will cherish those moments (Bloody Mary's!). We know there is a significant void left by her passing, but hope her legacy, the fond memories and many laughs help to warmly fill the void.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
Fondly,
Kim and Silvana
Dear Soderlund family, I am so sorry for your loss - for the world's loss of such a warm, courageous and fun loving woman. Pat was such an inspirational lady. She showed us all that we are truly only as old as we feel. I will never forget watching her soar through the air on that parasail earlier this year in Mexico! Her presence will be greatly missed, but her spirit will always be with us. Thank you for sharing Pat with us all.
With Love and a heavy Heart,
Tammy
Worked at LGH for 42 years and have many fund memories of Pat. The flower shop was one of my favorite spots to stop during my lunch hours.
My thoughts and prayers to her family during this difficult time.
My prayers are with you and your family. I always remember from all the years I was at LGH it was truly a blessing to have any dealings with your Mom. She was wonderful woman so full of compassion and life.
I met Pat this summer thru the Fox Lake Senior group. What a wonderful lady. Pat came to my home for a luncheon and the minute I saw her I knew she had class. A wonderful person who made those around her comfortable. I am glad to have met her.
I have so many wonderful memories of Pat - from the days when she and Art were in Masque and Staff (community theatre group) with my parents, Bob and Shirley Johnson. I also have great memories of our trips to visit them on their boat in Lake Geneva in the mid to late 70's. Pat was so much fun and so warm and caring. I'll never forget her.
My parents (Ron and Mitzie Scheib) and I were so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. The entire Marco Island crew will miss her so much.
I have lovely memories of chatting with her poolside on almost all of my visits to my parents, and had the pleasure of meeting Lynn and Ann.
Your mother was a lovely woman, and she will be misssed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Lovely Lady! Pat and I worked together in the LGH Flower Shop. She would volunteer her time to help deliver bouquets for Nurses Week and Valentine's Day. We always had nice conversations,her happy personality contagious. She enjoyed people and visiting her hospital friends. My thoughts and prayers are with the Soderland family. Carol
Dear Lynn and Famiy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was agreat inspiration to me. I worked at LGH for 32 years. The last 18 in the flower shop as a floral designer. So I got to know here quite well. She was a hard worker and always a lady. She made a statement both in her dress and personality. Classy but friendly. I will miss her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Lynn, Mike, Tom, & Family,
Pat was my friend for 40 years. We started out as neighbors, became friends & then sisters. There was nothing we could not talk about. I always felt she was an angel put on this earth so she could be there for other people.
I am so very sorry for you, her family. This is a sad, sad time for all of us.
Dear Lynn and Ann,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your dear mom. May your heavy hearts be made lighter with each passing day.
You and your famliy are remembered in my prayers.
Best ragards,
Mary (Daubach) Larsen

Dear Lynn........No one needs to tell you what a wonderful and remarkable woman you had for a Mother. Her enthusiasm and zest for life was evident in her everyday encounters with everyone. Your Mom helped me with many projects in my role as Manager of Orthopaedics. For sure she was an angel in disguise. Her Spirit lives on in those who loved her and I hope her last journey is as wonderful as the first. Blessings to you and Ann as you grieve this great loss. Sincerely......Joan Mudd
Will always remember her beautiful smile, always warm & inviting & how much fun we had one warm August evening after we left the Chase Corporate Challenge; a group of us hopped into Lynn's convertible (top down, of course) & made our way to Cafe Ba Ba Reba for incredibly good Tapas, laughing all the way, talking to complete strangers as we passed them by, most of them looking back at us, no doubt wishing they were going with us as we were having such a good time!
It's times like these that those of us who remain in "this" world stop to think about how precious life is, but what we should be doing every day is taking even a minute or two to appreciate what we've had "this" day...
Love you, Pat...& will always remember you fondly.
XOXO
Pat wil be greatly missed , a beautiful person and a great lady always had a smile for everyone no matter what. She will be in my thoughts and everyone who came in contact with her forever.
