Gerald SAUVE' Obituary

SAUVE, Gerald (Jerry) Wilfred

Gerald Wilfred Sauve, born to Isidore and Celestine Sauve on Sept. 24, 1926 in Yakima, WA, was called home to be with our Lord on March 14, 2011 at his home in Spokane Valley, WA, surrounded by his wife and family as well as his caregiver Linda Brown. Gerald is survived by his loving wife Margie, daughters Denise Doyle (Terry), Marcia Kelly (Mark), Doreen Caudill (Kelly) and sons Marc (Debbie), Donald (Pamela) and Darin (Deanna), all from the Spokane area; and by sisters Jean, Maxine, Darline, Caren and Annette and brothers Kenneth and Lynn. Gerald also leaves behind 13 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and another great-grandchild on the way. Growing up on a farm, Gerald learned the value of hard work early in life. After completing high school at Marquette High, Gerald and his brother Kenneth hitchhiked around the US to visit friends and relatives and to see many areas of our country. Gerald worked at Hanford driving a bus for two years. He proudly served as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army in Korea for two years. Gerald graduated from Gonzaga University, majoring in Accounting. He met Margie Wagner in early 1954, and they married on Nov. 20, 1954. Gerald worked in accounting for The Crescent in Spokane, Rhodes in Seattle, and Meier and Frank in Portland. He also worked in accounting for World's Fair Expo --74, and as a controller for several area car dealerships before retiring. Gerald's favorite activities included fishing, hunting, golfing, traveling, gardening, family get-togethers and pinochle. He was an avid fan of the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners and Gonzaga University Bulldogs. Gerald was a charter member of St. John Vianney Knights of Columbus Council 8201, serving as an officer in the council and on the Washington State Council audit committee for 6 years. Gerald and Margie received the 2004 Washington State Knights of Columbus Family of the Year award. Gerald was an active member of St. John Vianney Catholic Church since 1970, and volunteered countless hours in many key fundraisers over the years. The center of Gerald's life was his love for his wife Margie. They worked very hard to provide a good home for their family, stressing the importance of a close-knit family. Through the years, they went on many vacations, including Hawaii, Disneyland, Reno, Edmonton, the US Midwest, "snowbird" trips to Arizona and numerous camping trips. Gerald also had a great sense of humor and captivating smile that everyone enjoyed. Gerald's rosary will be held on Friday, March 18 at 7:00 pm at Heritage Funeral Home, 508 N. Government Way, Spokane. Funeral services will be held on Monday, March 21 at 11:00 am at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 503 N. Walnut Rd., Spokane Valley, WA 99206. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to St. John Vianney Catholic Church or Hospice of Spokane.

Dear Dad,
This will be my last entry to the guest book. I have has the privilege of talking through this in a really hard year since you left. I know you are at peace and you no longer have any pain, this helps so much. I wish I could hug you and see your beautiful smile, but that is not possible and that is what is so hard. I know you watch lovingly over us all & one day we will be together. Mom talks to you morning and night & says her prayers for you. I try to go out & spend the night as often as I can & Mom likes that. She keeps busy finding little projects to do at home but I know she is missing you so much. We smile when we talk about all our memories & that helps comfort us some. Just keep watching over us Dad, I Love You to the moon and back. You were the most incredible Father I could have asked for. Hugs, Kisses Forever to you Dad!

I Love You!
Marcia

Dear Dad,
My heart is heavy as I write to you a message today. I hope you have enjoyed all of the entries made by family and friends in this guest book that I started last year in your memory. I miss you terribly and wish you were here with us all again. I think about you every single day and like the other kids, am taking good care of Mom. She misses you so much Dad, and Bella is trying to keep her company. So many things I never got to say to you before you went to Heaven, such as how grateful I am to have had you in my life for 49 wonderful years. You taught me so much and never gave up on me as I was growing up and even as an adult. You always told me to never stop believing in my dreams, and that I would "Mr. Right". Kelly is my Mr. Right and I love him very much. He misses you too Dad. I just want to hug you so very much and say to you that I love you with all my heart. I will forever hold close all of the wonderful family memories we have all shared over all the years. I know you are at peace now and that you are still smiling down on all of us with that beautiful smile of yours.
I love you Dad. Your little girl,
Doreen

Dad,
I miss you. They say things get easier after time but I still miss you today just as much as the day you went to Heaven. It is Easter & I know your celebration in Heaven is something we can't even imagine. I just want you here so badly. I know you are at peace and you no longer suffer, this helps me cope. I know you watch over us all & we are taking care of Mom like you would have wanted. A day doesn't go by without thoughts of you. I Love You Dad & I miss you,
All my love & hugs to you in Heaven!

Grampa, I miss you. It's hard to believe a year has passed by since you went to heaven. I find comfort knowing that you are watching over your family and I know we still make you smile. I remember being just a little girl and how your smile just lit up the room and I always admired how other people saw you. A strong hearted family man that I always looked up to, and I still do! Thank you so much for all the love you gave me. I will always be your little squirt! Love you Grampa!

Dear Dad,
One year ago today at 8:16am you left this life and went to Heaven. No more pain, no more medicines, you just slipped away peacefully in the arms of the angels. I know in my heart a part of you is still with me and I am so blessed to have you as my Dad. I think when someone dies; they take a small piece of those they leave behind with them. I know you are happy now and it helps me cope, but my life will never be the same. I miss you so much Dad. You always made me smile as well as everyone who knew you. I am just sorry we never got a chance to have our last shrimp lunch together. You'll be happy to know that Mom is an avid Zags fan & watches every game she can for you! No luck with the Seahawks or the Mariners yet though! I want you to know Dad that in time we will be back together with you & that is a comfort. Until then I will keep you in my heart and send my love to you every minute of every day.

I love you Dad!
Marcia

Hi Dad,
I know what a long year it has been for us all since you went to heaven but it has also passed by quickly knowing that your pain was finally taken away.

Tonight we are getting together to have dinner and I know you will be there in our thoughts.

Dad,

I can't believe tomorrow it will be 1 year since you went to be with the Lord. Words can not describe how much you're missed and how much I miss not seeing your smiling face or a shout from the livingroom "GO ZAGS"!! We're all trying our best to help Mom out when we can and be there for her. We all look forward to being with Mom tomorrow to remember all of our great times with you but mostly just to be together as a family to help support one another just as you did for us for so many years. Thank You Dad. I miss you and always know never a day goes by that I don't think of you. I'm relieved your not in pain anymore and that you're in heaven.

Love,

Darin, Deanna and JoJo

Dear Dad,
It has been one year since you left us to be with Jesus in Heaven. I know what a difficult year it has been for all of us kids and especially hard on mom. She talks to you every day and feels your presence with her. I know you are smiling that beautiful smile of yours to all of us knowing that mom is being taken care of and we are all just getting by. You are in my heart and in my thoughts every day Dad. I just turned 50 and had a great party with friends and family and I know you were there with me too. My heart breaks every time I hear a song that I know you liked and or watching the Gonzaga Bulldogs playing basketball. Mom is watching every game that they play on TV for you and knows the players names. It is fun to see her do this for you and she enjoys it too. I hope you know just how much it hurts to not hug you or give you a kiss but I am sending those to you right now. You are always going to be my daddy and you will forever be with me until we meet in heaven. I love you like a rock dad and will always have my own special memories of us. Love, Doreen

To my loving Husband Jerry, It will be one year ago tomorrow March 14th since you passed away and I had to say goodbye to you. I was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. We were married for 56 & ½ years and those were the happiest years of my life. You were a wonderful and caring Husband and father. You were always there for me. All the memories of our lifetime together are can never be replaced and I will treasure them forever. You are in Heaven now with Jesus and you no longer have pain, for which I am thankful. I miss you so very much Jerry, you are always in my thoughts and in my prayers and I will forever hold you in my heart. Until we meet again my love. Your loving wife, Marge

Dad,

It's now been a little over 11 months and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I'm reminded everyday at work as I hear quite often the song on our satellite system "Jeremiah was a bullfrog":) There are so many times I wish I could reach out to you and see you and talk to you about fatherhood now that I am a Daddy. You would be so proud of your newest Grandson, Josiah. He is so full of energy, love and he had dimples just like you. We all miss you very much and we are taking good care of Mom. You know that though. Love and Blessings to the world's greatest Dad!!!!!

Love your Son,

Darin

Happy Valentine's Day Dad. I love you with all my heart. Mom misses you terribly as we all do and we know you are watching over all of us from heaven. I brought mom some chocolate reese's today and a card for Valentines day. She liked that. I gave her a big hug & kiss for you too. I wish so much you were back here with us Dad, I could really use your guidance with some work & personal issues. I will talk to you about that later when I am saying my prayers tonite. It's been 11 months today that you went to be with God in Heaven. I miss you every single day and think about all the wonderful family fun times we all had as a family. We are getting along, but it is still really hard not to just cry out for you. I hope your Valentines Day is a good one. I am blowing you lots of kisses Dad. I love you so very much. Doreen

Happy Thanksgiving Dad. I wish you were going to be joining us this year as I know how much you love the turkey and making the dressing. I also remember that famous smile of yours as you carved the turkey. I think you had lots of taste tests over the years. I know you will be watching over us from heaven dad and we will say a prayer for you. I miss you so much every day, I miss calling you on the phone and always correcting you that it is me not Marcia or Denise. I miss hugging you and telling you how much I love you. I am sending hugs and kisses to you dad and remember we are all taking good care of mom. She watches all the Gonzaga basketball games now on tv it is so funny to see her get so excited but she knows you are watching her and are smiling down on her always. I love you daddy. Doreen

Happy Fathers Day Dad!!

I can't believe it's been over 3 months now since you went to be with the Lord. I miss you so much. Words can't describe how much I miss you in my life. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and how much you meant to me in my life. All the valuable lessons you taught me(remember those debits and credits??). It is comforting to know that you're not hurting anymore! It's going to be sad not being able to celebrate Fathers Day with you physically here with us but I will be sending you a balloon today with a message of Love and telling you how much you meant to me in my life and how much you are and always will be a huge part of my life. I love you very much Dad!!

Love Always,

Dear Dad,
It is fathers day weekend, and the first one without you. I remember last year when I gave you that tshirt that says "American Dad". You wore it on Father's day and I have a great picture of you and I together with your shirt on. I miss you terribly every day Dad, and I know you are watching over mom and all of us kids. We are taking good care of mom. She misses you so much. We visit you at church often and feel your presence with us always. It will never be easy to celebrate holidays without you anymore, but just know dad, that you are at every one of them in our hearts. I hope you are resting peacefully now and that you are no longer suffering. I bet you are playing cards with grandma and grandpa and uncle gus too and aunt joyce. I want to just say how much I love you Dad and how thankful I am to have had you for 49 years in my life. I will never forget the lessons I learned from you, and I will always keep you close to me every day in my heart and in my prayers. I love you Dad.

To everyone at Jerry's funeral:

Dad taught us the importance of being involved, engaged and helping others. Whether in the Gonzaga University Great Teachers Program, St. John Vianney fund drives or Knights of Columbus, he showed by his example the importance of contributing to our community.

Looking out at all the family and friends gathered here today, I see and feel the reflection of the love and concern that Dad put into everything he did.

Thank you, Dad, for teaching us.

Love your son,
Don

Dad,
As a part of life there must always be an ending. It is this ending that none us wants to have happen but we accept it just as you have. I know it is going to be hard on us all, especially for Mom. I just want you to know that we will take care of her for you. We will be that strong family for her that you showed us how to be. We will remember all the good times that we had with you and be thankful that we had the chance to be part of them. You taught us so many good things Dad. You taught us to be strong and loving. You taught us to be thankful for all that we have and even the little things too. You taught us how to smile and laugh and I know you see that in me. You taught us to accept the hard things as well and showed us how to deal with them. We have so many good memories because of you that I will have something differant each day to remind me of you! Thank you for being my Dad and my friend. I hope you will save a spot in Heaven for all of my family so we can continue our lives with you there!

I Love You Dad,

Your Son, Marc

I know you are in heaven as my heart is heavy for you here. I am so thankful for all the time I was fortunate to spend with you and help care for you these past months of your life, this alone will help me through my sorrow. You were such a loving and wonderful father to me. You opened your arms and embraced Mark & your grandchildren & great grandchildren and loved them so much, in return you were deeply loved by all who knew you. We have so many memories that make me smile & I will hold a special place for you in my heart. Thank you Dad for everything, because of you I have become a better person. Oh how I miss you so much. I guess the time will come someday when we will meet again, until then Dad, watch over our family from Heaven. I Love You so much! I promise I will have shrimp for you every chance I get!

You probably won't remember me but I worked as a secretary for the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in the late 60's and 70's and we worked together for awhile. Just wanted to send you my deepest sympathy for your loss. I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago to pancreatic cancer and it's not an easy "journey". I'll remember you in my prayers,

Dear Dad,

I'm so glad that I was able to help care for you with Mom all those times. I remember all the times you thanked me for helping and saying "I love you" and how I told you I loved you & that caring for you is the least I can do. Dad, I just want you to know how thankful I am for all you did for me. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made to make sure I got a great education and a solid footing to stand on. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong. Thank you Dad for your unconditional love. Thank you for you selflessness. Your the GREATEST Dad & I hope I can be 1/2 the man you are!! I will miss you more than you know but I know in my heart we will see each other again in a much better place called Heaven. I will always love you Dad!!
