OBITUARIES

July 6, 1946 - April 13, 2023

Patricia Sorensen of Evergreen, Colorado, passed away at the age of 76 on April 13, 2023 after a valiant battle with cancer. Patricia was a successful businesswoman, equestrian, adventure athlete, dog lover, poet, painter, and lover of unspoiled wild places.

To say Patricia lived life full gas is an understatement. She was a groundbreaker in many ways. She was one of the rst women to graduate from the formerly all-male Notre Dame University. She held four university degrees. She guided whitewater river trips in Alaska. Most recently, she made a name for herself in a male-dominated industry.

When she wasn’t ensuring her clients’ nancial futures, Patricia was always in motion. She was an avid mountain biker, skier, swimmer, and traveler. Her dogs, Terra and later Willy, were her constant adventure companions. Patricia also spent many hours exploring the Colorado backcountry on her horse, Spirit — a Kiger Mustang with a heart just as adventurous as Patricia’s. One of Patricia’s passions was nature, and preserving the Earth. She would often say, “Take care of the planet for me after I’m gone.”

In fact, green investing was the cornerstone of her nancial planning business. For 30+ years, Patricia built a thriving business and nurtured her clients’ nest eggs with a keen eye on the market and an unwavering dedication to investing in companies that don’t just say they’re “green” but walk the talk. She loved her business and her clients. Even throughout her battle with cancer, even on the worst days, she would say, “I have to get my newsletter out.”

All are welcome to join in a celebration of Patricia’s life in one of the places she treasured most: the barn where she kept her beloved Spirit. Come say hi to Spirit. Breathe in the crisp mountain air. Remember a truly extraordinary woman.
