A past principal at Scudder, Stevens and Clark working with the Scudder Insurance Asset Management team in Boston, Mass., Sabra more recently founded and was president of Shearwater Associates LLC, a sales and marketing firm for investment managers. She held a bachelor's of arts degree from St. Lawrence University where she was a French major. She received her M.B.A from the Stern School of Business at New York University and also held the title of certified financial analyst (C.F.A.). Sabra had been a member of the board of trustees at St. Lawrence University since 1997. While on the board, she served in many leadership positions and always had a soft spot in her heart for North Country students, having herself grown up in Ogdensburg, N.Y. on the St. Lawrence River.
Sabra was fortunate to have traveled the world over and reached many milestones both personally and professionally. Her humility and grace hid this from her many friends and colleagues. Sabra's radiant smile, infectious laugh, good natured disposition to those around her, and her passion for life will be missed by all who knew her.
A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m., Nov. 19, 2005, at Gunnison Memorial Chapel on the St. Lawrence University campus, in Canton, N.Y.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to a memorial fund in Sabra's name and sent directly to the Development Office, Vilas Hall, St. Lawrence University, Canton NY 13617.
