Patricia Thompson Sabin

Beloved Patricia Thompson Sabin passed away November 25th at Beehive Homes in Payson, Utah.  She is survived by her husband Robert B Sabin, her children: Jill Sabin Smart (David), David O. Sabin (Gayle), Lisa Sabin-Pino (Pierpaolo), Heidi Wilhelmsen (Jason), Lonni D. Mooreland (Jay), Robert Joseph Sabin (Amy), 15 grandchildren, and her sisters Lorna Kendrick and Cheryl Davidson and her brother Paul Thompson.  Proceeded in death by her grandchild Sarah Mooreland, her parents, Oaklie and Iretta Thompson, and two of her brothers, Robert and Jack.  Patricia was born and raised in Mountain View, Alberta Canada. She graduated from the Ricks College nursing program and went on to a long and successful career in nursing.  She also served a LDS mission in post-war Germany.

She married Robert Sabin, her husband of 50 years, in the Salt Lake City temple.  They had six children that they raised in San Jose, California. While raising her own children, she cared and nurtured many other children through day care and foster care.  She finished her nursing career caring for the elderly with love and dedication in various convalescent facilities.  She was very proud to become a United States citizen later in her life.  Bob and Pat retired to Utah where she enjoyed being a grandmother to her 15 grandchildren.  She was blessed to live near her sister Lorna, who was her best friend and a beautiful support to her.

Pat was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved her Heavenly Father.  She exemplified a life lived in service and love of her Savior and her fellowmen. Although her declining health in her final years was punctuated by dementia, she was able to retain her sweet nature and love for her family.  Her love for Bob was a constant and his presence was a comfort to her. Her love, influence and hugs will be greatly missed.  But we have Hope that she is resting in peace from the pain and sorrows of this world.  She leaves a posterity that she taught in truth by her powerful example of service.  We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those that have assisted so tenderly with her care over the last couple of years.  Too many to name but so many angels that have lovingly eased her burdens.
