Alvin Charles Soderborg, no longer held by the bonds of infirmity, returned to his heavenly home on Dec. 9, 1996, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He leaves behind a life filled with loving family and friends and a legacy of service to others.

Alvin was born November 27, 1916, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the son of George Hyrum and Florence May Lloyd Soderborg.

He married Afton Romney on September 22, 1947 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. He graduated from Granite High School in 1934 and from the University of Utah in 1938. He later went on to complete U.S. Navy Midshipman's School at Columbia University in New York City.

He served his country in active duty for five years during World War II beginning as an Ensign and ending as a Lieutenant. Alvin served a mission in 1938 to Sweden until World War II began and was then re-assigned to the Central States mission.

He was self-employed for more than 35 years, often employing his children and teaching them the value of hard work. After retirement, Alvin and Afton served as missionaries at Temple Square, Puerto Rico, New York City LDS Visitor Center, and Germany, in what they considered the greatest work they could do.

Survived by his wife Afton, Salt Lake; seven children, Kathleen (Martin) Vander Veur, Lynne (Ken) Dawson, Laurel (Robert) Cundick, Mark (Paula) Soderborg, Lee (Karen) Soderborg, Gayle (Dan) Roberts, Eric Soderborg; 28 grandchildren; three brothers, John, Lloyd, and Ray; sister, Bessie Clark. The family expresses special thanks to Joel, Darren and Bill, from Community Nursing Services for their loving care.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, December 12, 1996, 12 noon, at the Rosecrest First Ward, 3101 South 2300 East, with Bishop Ron Casper officiating.

Friends may call Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 South 2300 East, and at the church on Thursday for one hour prior to the services. Interment: Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
