Evelyn Elise Rassbach Talbot
Born June 15, 1932 Deceased September 13, 2017
Beloved sister/mother/aunt/grandmother/great-grandmother Lynn Talbot of Santa Rosa died peacefully on September 13, 2017 following a series of strokes. Born in Philadelphia, PA, as Evelyn Elise Rassbach, first child of Philip Hermann Rassbach and Evelyn Toot Rassbach, Lynn later attended Denison University in Granville, OH, where she met Ralph "Igor" Talbot, to whom she became happily married for 57 years until his passing in November 2010.
Known for her motherly patience and progressive views, Lynn became an ardent practitioner of yoga and student of Buddhism soon after the family moved from Ohio to California in 1967. While raising four boys, she also found time to go back to school for an R.N. degree, and worked as a Kaiser nurse for several years. In 1976-78, Lynn and Ralph spent a year each in Paris and London. After retiring in 1988, they both became big fans of traditional jazz, attending festivals all over the US west coast.
Lynn is survived by her sister Jean Stuart (and brother-in-law Douglas) of Tucson, AZ, six nieces and nephews, and four sons and daughters-in-law: Philip and Susan Talbot of Manchester CT, Bruce and Sophia Talbot of El Cerrito CA, Alan and Melinda Talbot of Sonoma CA, and Jay and Yukiko Talbot of Tokyo Japan, as well as nine grandchildren (Bruce and Sophia's children Colin, Nicole, and Elise, Alan's children Jacquie, Stacey, and Deanna, and Jay and Yukiko's children Jason, Jimmy, and Joe), plus three great-grandchildren (Elise and Stephen's children Calistos and Cosette and Stacey and Tom's daughter Ryan).
The family would like to express their gratitude for the excellent, compassionate care Lynn received while at the Kaiser Rehab Center in Vallejo, at Welcome Home Senior Residence in Concord, and by Ninia and her outstanding Ace Hospice team. Everyone marveled at how Lynn managed to retain her inner strength and even her sense of humor during eight increasingly challenging months following her initial massive stroke in January.
Lynn's sons and their families gathered to scatter her ashes at sea, as she wished, just outside the Golden Gate. They were later joined by some of her many friends to remember and celebrate her inspirational, exemplary life.
