Sally Luscavage Obituary
A beautiful redhead, Sally was born in Oakland, Calif. on Sept. 25, 1955, to Frank and Margaret Elizares.
Sally retired from the Washoe County School District as position control specialist in December 2015. She was a member of St. Albert the Great Catholic Church, where she shared her beautiful singing voice in the choir.
Sally was an active volunteer and an advocate for children. She embraced her Hawaiian heritage. She touched many lives with her compassion, thoughtfulness and joy, but of her many attributes and gifts, her lasting legacy is love.
Sally leaves behind her husband, David Luscavage; mother, Margaret Elizares; brothers, Jack (Caren) Elizares, and Jim (Lori) Elizares; sister, Claudia Valencia; brother, Frank Vanderford; daughter, Gwen (Kent) Arps; as well as grandchildren, nieces, nephews, godchildren, cousins and many cherished friends.
A Catholic Mass will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at St. Albert the Great, Reno, Nev., followed by a short graveside service at Mountain View Cemetery, Reno. In lieu of flowers, donations to Sally Luscavage may be made to UNBOUND.org, a sponsor of children from countries around the world. You are invited to share a condolence message in Sally's Book of Memories at www.waltonsfuneralhomes.com.
