SABINE, Creta Lucille
Creta Lucille Dambacher Sabine was born on October 3, 1918 in Prairie, OK. She was the seventh of eight children born to William and Pearl Dambacher. As fate would have it, six of the children survived and they were left without their mother. Creta was the youngest of the six and learned very early the value of a hard days work. Her father was a farmer and everyone in the family needed to help to make life successful. The older children helped with the younger ones and the family grew unbelievably close. They remained close their entire lives, always there for each other no matter what. Thus lessons of love and faithfulness were begun in Creta's young life. Creta was an exceptionally bright child and loved learning and education. She excelled in school and this began her striving for further education. An early marriage was what she desired most and gave up her dream of a college degree to marry William L. Sabine at the age of sixteen. The marriage would continue 67 years until his death. A year after they married a daughter was born and Creta took care of the baby, her husband and held a full time job. She was a helpmate to William and encouraged him to get a degree in college. Again Creta thought of her family and another daughter was born to them. All the while she cared for them, worked full time and went to night school to prepare for her future as a leader in the business world. She received her Bachelor's Master's and Doctoral degrees in Education from Arizona State University hour by hour, class by class. As she progressed and learned, she began to move up the career ladder. The little farm girl from the Midwest was becoming a professional woman. She loved work and most of all she loved learning. Her professional accomplishments range from Business Manager to Principal to Professor at Illinois State University. She was a member of numerous professional organizations such as AASBO, Phi Delta Kappa, and received the Eagle Service Award for Arizona Business Officials. Her life came to an end on August 24, 2004 at the exact time her husband passed on two years to the day earlier. Services will be held at Dayspring United Methodist Church, 1365 E. Elliot Rd., Tempe, AZ on Saturday, August 28, at 10:00 a. m. She is survived by their two daughters, Genevieve S. Cannon, Sharon K. Fitch; four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
