Jen Soll, age 54 of Sac City, Iowa, passed away on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at home surrounded by her loved ones.
Jennifer Lee Coats was born on August 10, 1972, in Storm Lake, Iowa, to parents Robert and Terri (Galbraith) Coats. She was baptized and confirmed at the First Presbyterian Church in Sac City. She grew up in Sac City, where she attended school, graduating from Sac Community High School with the Class of 1990. Following graduation, Jen continued her education at AIB in Des Moines, where she earned her business degree. She later returned to school at Iowa Central Community College, where she obtained her degree in nursing and became a registered nurse.Â
Growing up, Jen shared many special memories with her siblings. Among their favorites were visits to the family farm, where they enjoyed spending time together and having picnics. Jen was involved in dance for many years, which, of course, meant plenty of dance recitals for the family to attend. Another cherished childhood tradition was the week each summer that Jen and her sister, Jill, would spend with their Aunt Connie, enjoying all sorts of fun adventures together. During high school, Jen worked as a waitress at the Carlson House in Sac City, a job she genuinely enjoyed.
In 2002, Jen was united in marriage to Rick Soll at the First Presbyterian Church in Sac City. Together, they were blessed with two children, Larissa and Dylan, and Jen also lovingly gained a stepdaughter, Mercedes.
After earning her nursing degree, Jen devoted much of her working life to caring for others. She worked at various nursing homes throughout the area and served as the Director of Nursing at Park View in Sac City for several years. Nursing was a natural fit for Jen, whose quiet, compassionate nature and willingness to put others before herself were evident in the care she provided.
Jen was a gentle, caring person. She had a quiet way of showing her love, often through the little things she did for those around her. She shared an especially close bond with her daughter, Larissa, who remembers her mom as someone who was always by her side, no matter what. That steady, unconditional love was simply who Jen was.
In her free time, Jen enjoyed expressing her creative side through painting. Whether it was a landscape on canvas or some other object, she enjoyed creating something beautiful. She also had a love for antiques and could always appreciate the charm and history of an old treasure. Jen was always up for a road trip or an opportunity to travel somewhere, whether the destination was near or far. More recently, she discovered a love for camping and the simple enjoyment of getting away and spending time outdoors.
Above all else, Jen treasured her family. Nothing brought her greater happiness than time spent with those she loved, especially her grandchildren, who held a very special place in her heart. Though quiet by nature, the love she had for her family spoke volumes. She will be remembered for her kind heart, her caring spirit, and the many ways she made those closest to her feel loved.
Jen’s gentle presence and the memories she leaves behind will forever be cherished by her family and all who knew and loved her.
