Evelyn K. Sabine, 101, passed away Friday morning at The Cottages. Born on June 11, 1923 to Herman “Hy” and Marcia Silver Kassel she had been a life resident of Syracuse.

Evelyn’s beloved husband of 60 years Bruce passed away in 2003.

Evelyn was a consummate homemaker, the “CEO” of the house. Her job that she loved was to take care and be there for her family.

She was a graduate of Nottingham HS, the “Old Nottingham (T. Aaron Levy); a lifetime member of Temple Concord, having started school there at 6; was an active member of The Sisterhood of the Temple; and Hadassah.

In her younger years she worked and managed Evelyn’s Dress Shop downtown Syracuse, with her mother Marcia. She also was a counselor, and co-director with her husband of the CIT’s at Bradley Brook Camp.

Evelyn was an avid SU fan, especially football dating back to the Archibald Stadium days; an amateur golfer playing in several leagues throughout CNY; loved to fish on the Jamesville Reservoir; and her traveling Canasta games with her childhood girlfriends.

She loved the thrill of gambling playing the slots as long as there was an arm to pull, and have a seat at the blackjack table. A 4:30 Vodka and tonic with “just one shot” was a final toast to every full day.

Bubbie loved cooking and being with her family especially for holidays, birthdays and any special occasion or no reason at all! Most of all she loved watching her grandsons Eric and Kevin in any sport, concert or show.

Her family includes her devoted son Lee and his life partner Hana, and grandsons Eric and Kevin (Anastasia) , great grandson Sullivan, and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
