Irene Saboe

Irene Saboe was born April 6, 1926 at Soda Lake, SK, to Andrew and Lillie Saboe, their 3rd child. She passed peacefully from this life to the next on Thursday, January 18, 2024 in Saskatoon, SK, where she has resided for the past several years. As a child she attended gospel meetings with her mother, committing her life to God at the age of 15. After graduating from school, she worked for a number of years at the Land Titles Office in Prince Albert SK. She was moved to share the gospel first in SK in 1952, and then to Norway in 1958, where she spent the majority of her time in the ministry. When her health declined in 2009, Irene returned to Saskatoon where she spent many more years continuing to minister to souls in her own capacity. She always seemed to know just when a letter or phone call was needed. The privilege of having a Sunday morning fellowship meeting and a Wednesday morning Bible study in her little apartment was one that she cherished. Her gratitude for all the Lord has done for her and for the hope she had of spending eternity with Him, will continue to inspire us.

Irene leaves to mourn her passing, two sisters, Eve Ratzlaff of Prince George BC and Merilyn (Arnold) James of Prince Albert SK, numerous nieces and nephews, coworkers and a multitude of friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Andrew and Lilie, her brothers Harris Saboe and Eldon Saboe, sisters Dorothea Sache and Lorraine Pratt, sisters-in-law Alma Saboe and Marge Saboe, brothers-in-law George Sache, Verol Ratzlaff and Dick Pratt.

The family is very grateful for those who cared for her in her last days and for the staff at the home where she resided.
