Rula Sacco passed away peacefully on September 25, 2024, surrounded by loved ones. She was born in 1933 in Wellington Utah where she spent her childhood. She met Robert Sacco in Helper Utah, and they were married in 1950 and later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They moved to Salt Lake City and together they raised five children and made lifelong friends creating wonderful memories for all who enjoyed time with them.
Her professional journey led her to West High School, where she served in the administrative office for 22 years until her retirement in 1996. Rula cherished her time at West High, forming lasting bonds with faculty, staff, and students alike.
Rula had a zest for life and loved being around people. She found immense joy in spending time with her family and friends, laughing with others, camping in the majestic mountains, and hosting her annual family Christmas party filled with decorations and Italian traditions. She also loved dancing and creating beautiful wood art inspired by nature. After Robert's passing, she delighted in traveling with her lifelong friend, Shirlene Ritchie.
Rula Sacco leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, generosity, and faith. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rula is preceded in death by her husband Robert, daughter Kristi, and daughter-in-law Flava. She is survived by her children Craig (Laurie), Ken (Betsy), Mark, Diane (Wade), 16 grandchildren, and 32 great-grandchildren.
Rula's family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to Abbington Senior Living and all who have supported them.
