Marbeth Sahn Obituary

Marbeth Ann Sahn, born July 2, 1950 in Seward Nebraska to Otto and Glendora Sahn, passed into eternal life July 20, 2020 in Seattle, Washington at the age of 70 years and 18 days due to complications after surgery.

Marbeth graduated from Seward High School in 1968 and received a BS degree in Psychology/Sociology from Kearney State College in 1972. She worked with juveniles several years primarily in Council Bluffs, Iowa as a group home counselor at a non-profit organization now called Children's Square. Later she worked for the American Red Cross in Omaha in the accounting department. While there, she assisted with disaster relief efforts when needed as well.

In 1996 Marbeth moved to Washington State to live closer to her sister's family where she worked for the city of Everett in Public Works, and later for the city of Lynnwood in Accounts Payable. She retired in 2017.

Marbeth loved to travel and saw sights in all 50 states. She enjoyed camping, crossword puzzles, reading mysteries, and listening to Bluegrass music. She participated in four productions of the King's Players theatrical group, served on the Habitat for Humanity Board, and ushered at the Everett Symphony. Immanuel Lutheran in Everett was her church home.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Glendora Sahn. She is survived by brother Delbert (Connie) of Seward, NE, sister Nancy Wolf of Monroe, WA, nephew Daniel Sahn, nieces Sarah Collinge (Max) and Bethany Robinson, (Craig) grandnieces Hannah and Sadie Collinge, grandnephews Isaiah and Gabriel Robinson, one aunt and three cousins.

Memorial contributions may be made to the USO, American Red Cross, Children's Square, or Immanuel Lutheran Church in Everett, WA
