Patricia Josephine "Pat" Ekdahl

Just saw this. I worked with Pat in Administration at Carilion Roanoke Memorial. She brought an enthusiasm and energy to all she did and those she worked with. We enjoyed some girls nights out for dinners, shows, and stories with friends. She was proud to be a nurse and uplifted all the nurses at RMH. I recall Pat talking about a trip to Florida and parasailing with a nun? I can see her doing that now as she watches over us. Condolences to family, she spoke so lovingly about her daughters...

What a beautiful blessing she was to all who knew her, and her kindness as a school classmate surely overflowed with Grace into her adulthood. Prayers for all her family.

Pat was my best friend in high school in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. We had such fun then, making life time memories. As adults we did not live near each other, but kept in touch. A few years ago five of us met for a week at Hilton Head. South Carolina, and had an incredible time. I will always remember Pat´s charming smile and wonderful personality. She had so much courage during her illness, sustained by her faith, family, friends, and medical care. Heaven has welcomed a true angel!

I´m so sorry to hear of Pat´s passing. She was a trailblazer for sure when she arrived at Carilion as CNO. She made positive changes for nurses and patients. Prayers for her family. May she rest in peace.

Just reading all the accomplishments achieved by Pat has made me tired. She did so much for so many people. My sympathy goes to her family, coworkers & friends. May you be comforted to know there are others who care who knew her from our school days! Judee Russell Curtis, Class of '57

We are so sorry to hear of Pats´ death. She was a wonderful classmate to all of us from the class of 1957, Scottsbluff High School. She is fondly remembered from being ant our latest reunion in 2022. Our sincere condolences to her wonderful family. Love and Prayers, Bud and Dori Olson Murray
