Josie Valentine Soderborg
Josie Valentine Thelin Soderborg passed away October 9, 2015 in Manti, Utah. She was born on February 14, 1930 to Joseph and Sigrid Thelin in Ft. Macleod, Alberta. On December 1, 1961, she married Ray Lloyd Soderborg in the Salt Lake Temple.
Josie grew up on the prairies of southern Alberta and loved to share memories of those days. At BYU she studied archaeology and at age 78 fulfilled a lifelong dream when she toured Central America with her daughter and visited many archaeological sites.
Josie was a faithful member of the LDS Church and served in many capacities. She fulfilled a mission to Sweden and formed bonds with many relatives there that continued throughout her life. She was concerned with preparedness and was generous in sharing her time and means to help anyone she thought was in need. Josie had a passion for family history. She researched and disseminated an extraordinary amount of historical information about the ancestors she loved to all branches of the family. Josie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
Josie was preceded in death by her husband, parents, sister Annette, and brother Heber. She is survived by her sister, Marylynn, her brother Allan, her children, Nathan (Sondra), Philip (Lisa), Andrew (Krista), Joseph, Joannah, and 11 grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Josie's sister Marylynn and JoAnna Sanders for their wonderful care.
