Patricia Ann (Helmer) Nordengren, known as "Pat" to her friends, passed away on 06/13/2022 at 90 years of age. A Chicago native, she and her loving husband of 67 years, Tom, raised four children: Tom Jr., Jim, Cheryl and Debbie. They all moved to Little Rock in 1967 when a promotion was offered by the Teletype Corp and they made many great friends. Pat was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother (to seven) and great-grandmother (to six) as well as being a steadfast friend to many.

Pat's life was filled by her many interests. As a teenager, she took voice training and loved to play the piano. Music remained forever in her life; Pat sang soprano with the Chicago Choral Society, the Sweet Adeline's, and  Little Rock's "Messiah Chorus". She was frequently in demand for solos. Pat and her family attended Westover Hills Presbyterian Church for over 50 years and she was always active in church choirs.

Once their children were older Pat took a job at the UALR bookstore, where she remained until she retired in 1991.  Pat and her husband, Tom Sr., did many things together during their retirement. When they weren't busy lavishing love on their many progeny and friends they volunteered at a local hospital, bowled in several leagues, enjoyed gardening and were frequently involved in various church activities. They enjoyed traveling and found time to do so often.

A celebration of her life and memory will be held at 2:00PM on Monday, July 11th at Westover Hills Presbyterian Church (Little Rock).  Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Cremation Services of Arkansas (501)313-5431.
