Ragnhild Thorsén Led Music, Encouraged Others

Charlotte Erlanson-Albertsson remembers meeting Ragnhild Thorsén at a workout in Gerdahallen, Sweden. They later connected at Thulehem during musical devotions around 2015. Thorsén led the music and invited Erlanson-Albertsson’s family—even young grandchildren—to perform.

Thorsén became known for her positivity and encouragement of others. She prioritized family well-being, advising her sons to eat before parties to avoid impatience. This practice resonated with Erlanson-Albertsson’s family as well.

Thorsén initially worked as a teacher before training as a deaconess at Ersta diakonanstalt in 1993. Her cheerful disposition suited her work.

The author notes the impact Thorsén had, but does not detail the circumstances of her passing. Work to remember and carry forward her example continues.
