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 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.
