Lois Norkus Sabo, 82, a long-time resident of Branford, died Monday, January 26, 2026, at Masonic Health Center in Wallingford. She was the wife of the late Peter J. Sabo.
Born in New Haven on May 13, 1943, daughter of the late Joseph and Elizabeth Supsie Norkus, sister of the late Beverly (Phillip) Sylvia. She was a member of Branford Bible Chapel in North Branford. She was an employee of Yale University in the Pathology Department and retired in 2005.
In her younger years, Lois loved to play basketball and was a competitive bowler. She was a sci-fi geek, in love with Start Trek and Captain Kirk and always made time to watch reruns with her kids. She took to heart the Christian value of an open heart and an open door. Through the years, she took friends and family into her home to give them a fresh start. She exemplified the scripture from Matthew 25:35, 40 (NIV): "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat... I was a stranger and you invited me in... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Her favorite hymn was "How Great thou Art".
She is survived by her daughter and two sons, Beth Anne (James) Cusanelli of East Haven, Jeffrey (Kathleen) Radziunas of Wallingford, and Marc (Kristen Frank) Sabo of Trumbull; six grandchildren that she adored with all her heart: Eric, Joshua, Christopher, Jacob, Vivian, and Cody; two great-grandchildren, Kareena and Damien; and several nieces and nephews.
