Sommer Pahl

Sommer was a Registered Nurse and Clinical Coordinator at the Abrazo Buckeye Emergency Center and a Clinical Nursing Instructor at Estrella Mountain Community College. Her vibrant personality and compassionate nature made Sommer a great leader and patient advocate. Her laugh and smile were magnetic, contagious, and lit up any room that she entered. She had the most beautiful Sunflower hazel eyes.

Sommer had a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing, Master of Science Degree in Organizational Leadership, as well as Certified Emergency and Trauma Nurse certifications. When not at work, Sommer enjoyed spending time with her family that she loved with all of her heart. This included sleepovers and trips to Disneyland with her three grandchildren, family pool parties, and getaways to Las Vegas with her husband.

Sommer is survived by her mother Mary Toole, husband Ed Pahl, daughters Kasie Barclay and Allison Phillips and brother Brian Krotky. Sommer is also survived by her three wonderful grandchildren, Alanna, Scarlet, and Riley. She had a wonderful work family that inspired her on a daily basis. She loved her Abrazo family and shared in their triumphs and tragedies.

Sommer is preceded in death by her father Ronald Krotky and beautiful son Kyle Dickens. The family takes comfort in knowing that the pain suffered from the loss of her son is relieved as they are now reunited.

Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, the family will be holding a private family service in their home on Sommer’s birthday. A public Celebration of Life is being planned for a later date as the pandemic restrictions allow. The family understands that Sommer was loved by many people and wants to be able to celebrate together safely.
