Jessie Young Sabo

Jessie died peacefully, with her daughter by her side, after a short illness at Noric House in Vernon, B.C.

Jessie was born and raised in Dundee, Scotland. She met and married a handsome Canadian soldier during the Second World War and came to Canada as a war bride. She and her husband, Rudolf, settled in Saskatchewan where they raised three children. They travelled widely and loved the adventure of seeing new parts of the world.

Sadly, she was predeceased by her husband and sons, Alistair and Wayne. She is survived by her daughter, Sharron (Ivan) Stone of Toronto, Ontario and by her loving daughters-in-law, Dale Sabo of Vernon, B.C. and Alvera Sabo of Minot, North Dakota, by her grandchildren, Robert Sabo, Catherine Griffiths, Geoffrey Pollock, Meghan Pollock MacLean, Angela Sabo, and Amy Esslinger, and by her great-grandchildren, McKenzie Sabo, Samuel, Thomas, Colton and Lucas Griffiths, Daniel and Elizabeth Pollock, Nox MacLean, Kennedy Hendrickson and Fisher Esslinger, and by her numerous nieces and nephews.

Jessie was a tiny, Scottish lass with a wry sense of humour and a love of music, dancing and Hollywood movies. She was a devoted fan of John Wayne and watched his movies over and over again.

The family would like to thank Dr. David Arnold and the staff of Noric House for the wonderful care and great kindness they showed to our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Following her wishes, there will not be a public service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in her memory to the Canadian Diabetes Association (http://www.diabetes.ca).

Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.
