Alice "Kathleen" Nelson Sabin
1926 - 2015
Alice Kathleen Nelson Sabin was born July 30, 1926, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. to Seth Henry and Mabel Caroline Hansen Nelson. She passed away June 4, 2015, in Cedar Hills, Utah.
Kathleen served a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico, where she met her eternal companion, Robert J. Sabin, who was also serving as a missionary. They were married August 20, 1952, in the Cardston Alberta Temple. They spent most of the married life in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She served in many church callings, including ward Primary and Relief Society president, stake Relief Society president, seminary teacher, scouting and many other callings in church organizations. She enjoyed in recent years doing family history, including over 60,000 names through extraction and arbitration. She served three additional missions for the Church with her husband in Spain, Guatemala, and the New Mexico State University Institute.
Kathleen has warmed many lives over the years with hundreds of sweaters and quilts. She loved people and knew no stranger. She was a great keeper of the family books. She loved playing games, sharing stories, and just spending time with her family, for they're her greatest treasure. Her love, influence, and example will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Kathleen is survived by her husband, Robert Sabin; her five children: Deborah Sabin Bennion (Layne), Rob Sabin (Becky), Brian Sabin (Judy), Greg Sabin (Lynette), Scott Sabin (Sharon); 23 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
