Sigrid Lönnberg

I worked with Sigrid back in the 1980's at Community Hospital. She was one of THE BEST nurses I ever worked alongside. The best compliment I can give his is that I always thought that if I was ever seriously ill in the hospital, she would be THE ONE I'd have wanted to care for me.

When I got married in 1978 she called me while she was in Europe and I still treasure the wedding gift she brought home to us. It is a picture she took, while in Ireland, of a small thatched cottage on...

Sigrid was my rock on 2 West. My heart is aching. Love to all of you.

I had the honor and pleasure to work with Sigrid at Dominican Hospital for many years. I was an Anestheiologist and interacted with Sigrid often up on the 2West Med SURG ward. She was exemplary in her duties to patient care and a very personable and witty colleague. Nothing phased her... nothing. I am truly saddened by this news.
