Ebe Sapone-Cavagnaro Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 29 to Jun. 1, 2018.
Ebe F. Sapone-Cavagnaro

Died suddenly on May 26, 2018. Beloved widow of the late eminent dentist, Dr. John Sapone. Now leaves in grief her husband of 20 years, Al Cavagnaro. A native of Italy, she graduated from the Liceo Classico Giosué Carducci in Viareggio (Lucca), and graduated with a doctoral degree from the renowned University of Pisa. Taught Italian at the University of California Berkeley, and later spent her career as a language teacher/Foreign Language Department Chair at Balboa High School. Proud of her Tuscan origins, she continued teaching Italian during her retirement, at the Commonwealth Club and at various other venues.
Besides her husband, she leaves in grief her beloved daughter, Lucilla, her 3 caring grandchildren (John, Jeff and Angela Dullea), and her 2 admiring great-grandchildren (Tyler and Jordan Murray). Rosary will be held Friday, June 1st, at 7:30 p.m., and Funeral Mass Saturday, June 2nd at 11a.m., both at St. Brendan Church, 29 Rockaway Avenue, San Francisco. Reception to follow.

I remember Mrs.Sapone as a beloved teacher at Balboa High School. My friends Cathy and Francine were in her classes, and just loved her! I took Spanish with Mr. Burgess. This was in 1972! She will forever be in our hearts.

My deep condolences to Al and Ebe's family and friends on our loss. Ebe was such an active and happy member of the Commonwealth Club, where many of us were privileged to meet her and share happy times. We will always remember her smile, loving heart, and the helpful, intelligent person that shared so much with us all.
