“Dear Mr. Jones,
Thank you for your professional, compassionate spirit at my grandfather, T. G’s, funeral. I remember when you buried my grandmother 25 years ago (I was 7!), and your smiling face is just the same. The professionalism of your staff will always stand out in my mind when I remember this time. That is a precious gift. Thank you.
In peace,”
— M. D.

Sarah "Sally" Horvath

November 11, 1966 - January 25, 2012

Sarah B. “Sally” Horvath, 45, a resident of Naperville, IL and formerly of South Bend, Indiana, was born on October 11, 1966 in Parkersburg, WV and passed away on January 25, 2012 surrounded by the love of her family. Sally was diagnosed with Melanoma in 1996 and battled this horrible disease with tremendous bravery for 15 years.

Sally is survived by her loving husband of 16 years, David; her greatest joy in her life, her sons, Charlie and Sam; her beloved mother, Ginger Bosse of Powell, OH; her dear siblings, Karen (Bill) Fisher of Greenwood Village, CO and Doug (Polly) Bosse of Richmond, VA; her cherished nieces and nephews, Emily, Will, Cate, Michael, Abby and Matt Fisher, Meg and Laura Bosse; as well as the many lives she touched throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her father, William Lloyd Bosse; her brother, Adam Bosse; and her parents-in-law, Otto and Mary Horvath.

Sally grew up in Worthington, OH and was a graduate of Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). She was employed as a Certified Public Accountant at the Center for Surgery for several years. She was active in her community and enjoyed playing BUNCO in the neighborhood. Sally volunteered with the Irish Children’s Fund and the family hosted a student from Northern Ireland. Above all, Sally lived for her boys. She was involved in all of their activities, including All Saints Academy Football. She was the best mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend that anyone could ever have asked for. Her kindness, sense of humor and love of life will live on forever.

For those who would like to leave a lasting tribute to Sally’s life, memorials to The UW Carbone Cancer Center, Attn. Katie Arendt / Melanoma Research Fund, 600 Highland Ave. K4-646, Madison, WI 53792-6164 or a charity of one’s choice would be greatly appreciated.

Visitation will be Monday, January 30, 3:00 until 9:00 PM at the Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Naperville. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, January 31, 10:00 AM at St Elizabeth Seton Church, 2220 Lisson Rd, Naperville. Interment will follow at Naperville Cemetery.
