Obituary
Elizabeth (Liz) Birkett (nee Sabo) of Okotoks, Alberta, passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 10, 2022. Liz was born in Canada the daughter of József and Julianna Sabo. She was married to her beloved husband Jack Birkett for 63 years. Liz spent her youth in Rosedale, attended high school in Drumheller with post-secondary education at Modern Business College in Edmonton. She operated an inaugural punchcard computer coding system for an insurance company early on. Liz was also employed with Sears using her seamstress skills in the drapery department.
She was wholly devoted to her family, friends and church having a huge heart and lovingly imparted people with gifts, food and hugs. Liz possessed the dying art of honest and open communication. There was often an amused twinkle in her eye.
Liz enjoyed many wonderful cruises with family, always appreciating a good ‘schmorg.’ In her day she was an excellent bowler, enjoyed card games, penguins, playing mahjong, and doing copious quantities of canning for the family in the fall. Many hours were spent cheering her sons on in competitive swimming and volunteering with the swim clubs.
Liz is survived by her loving husband Jack; her sons Jack (Sharon), David (Karen), Darren (Judy); her grandchildren Chynna (Andrew), Andrea (Rob), Andrew, Sydney (Matt), Samuel (Karli), Matthias (Chelsea) and her great granddaughters Lucy and Elora. She was predeceased by her sister Julia, her brothers Alec, Vince, Joseph and her son Todd.
She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. She will be forever in our hearts.
