Owen L. Sorenson, age 78 died peacefully on July 8, 2025, at Lyngblomsten Care Center in St. Paul MN.

 

Owen was one of a kind and leaves a void that won’t be possible to fill for those who knew and loved him. His clever wit, passion for golf and fun disposition made him unforgettable. Through the years he enjoyed running, sailing, soccer and gardening. His daily routine always (without fail) included a workout. He was an avid Golden Gopher fan and enjoyed sharing his Goldy Gram analysis and Goldy photos with his friends.

 

Owen practiced law in St. Paul for 50 years. While he was humble (mostly), yet fiercely competitive, he enjoyed recounting his jury trials (over 200) to friends and family. He was always curious as to what kind of a verdict they would come up with.

 

Owen is preceded in death by his parents Leland and Lorraine. He is survived by his Wife of 55 years Susan; his Son David (Hallie); Grandson Sam; Sister Carol Rye; Sister Louise Russell; and Brother Jim (Nancy Saunders) Sorenson. He is also remembered by many Nieces, Nephews and dear friends.

 

Join us in celebrating Owen’s life on Wednesday, July 16 pm at Willwerscheid Funeral Home, 1167 Grand Avenue, St. Paul. Visitation will be from 4-6pm and Celebration of Life at 6pm. As Owen would want, please dress casually, golf or Gopher attire totally acceptable.

 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to LifeSource, or organization of your choice in memory of Owen.
