Obituary
Sarah Flotte, 40, died on July 29, 2023. Sarah was the loving wife of Dipak Patel and mom of two beautiful boys, Kian (3) and Zain (1).
Sarah graduated in 2005 with her bachelor's degree from The University of Michigan. After graduating, Sarah attended DePaul College of Law where she obtained her juris doctorate in 2008.
An accomplished labor and employment attorney and partner at Perkins Coie, Sarah received several recognitions and awards during her time of practice. Most notably, she was named in Chicago's Forty Under Forty in 2018 and was listed in Chicago's Notable Women Lawyers by Crain's Custom Media in 2019. The most important roles in her life, however, were being a loving wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many. A tiny but mighty force, Sarah was fiercely loyal and dedicated to everyone around her. She had a beauty that radiated from the inside out and was the brightest of lights.
Sarah was predeceased by her mother, Carol Flotte. She is survived by her husband, Dipak Patel; children, Kian and Zain; her father Ernest Flotte, sister Cathy (Bakos) Gross; brother-in-law Pratike (Alisa) Patel; nephews Bakos, Connor and Sammy; nieces Lila and Neena and many loving family members and friends.
