Patricia Hedlund Obituary

She is survived by her husband Virgil Robert Hedlund and her daughter Elizabeth Hedlund, as well as a loving family and large collection of friends.

A talented musician, she was constantly writing and playing music to soothe the soul.

My condolences to the family. I met Pat at a friend's house, and enjoyed her sense of humor. She played her guitar for us and lightened up the evening with her beautiful smile.

Whenever I think of Pat, the first thing that comes to mind is her smile! I met her many years ago when she was the bus driver for my special needs son. I started each day with a brief, friendly visit with her as she settled my son in as her passenger.
Later I got to know her better when Liz and my older son Ryan were in music together at Zane and EHS. She made my mother (a fellow Coastie)feel very special when she organized a surprise visit of local Coast Guard women to present her with a homemade Coast Guard themed blanket. My last memory of you is riding your motorcycle, enjoying the pleasure and freedom it gave you. Liz, you are a strong, talented remarkable woman in your own right. Pat will live on in you as you make your mark on the world!
