Sarah Sorensen Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Sep. 27 to Sep. 28, 2012.
June 16, 1968; September 21, 2012 Sarah died last Friday, attended by her husband and children, her Vancouver-area family, her close friend Ann Kristin Balto from Norway, and the wonderful staff at the Burnaby Hospital Palliative Care Unit.

Sarah was born in Vancouver. Although she spent much of her life in northern Norway, she always maintained her connection to Canada - and to Vancouver in particular. Commercial Drive was her "favourite street in the world".

Sarah is survived by her children - Anne Maia (16), Elle Sina (13), Lukas (11), and Milla Elia (4); her loving and supportive husband Bent Raanes Sorensen; her mother Karen Sorensen; her father Peter Cameron; her stepmother Lisa Hansen; her brothers Adam (Melissa Birkeland) and Daniel (Elsebeth Fredberg); her sister-in-law Randi Sorensen; her parents-in-law Kristian and Inger Synøve Raanes; her nieces and nephews; and her other friends and relatives on both sides of the Atlantic.

A commemorative service will be held at the Canucks Family Education Centre, above the Eastside Family Place, 1655 William (beside the park, off Commercial Drive half a block west of Joe's Cafe) on Sunday, September 30, at 12:30.

If you wish, in lieu of flowers a contribution to Britannia Community Services Society would be appreciated (1661 Napier Street; Vancouver, BC; V5L 4X4). Please include a note on the cheque that it is intended, in Sarah's name, for the community kitchen.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Dear Bent and family.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
Bent: Jeg fikk høre om tapet av din kjære av Asbjørn som ringte meg. Ufattelig og urettferdig. Ta vare på deg selv i denne tunge tiden.
