Elizabeth Van Ness Sacharov

January 18, 1951 — May 26, 2025

Bellingham

Elizabeth Van Ness Sacharov, daughter of Jeanne and Allan Yanco, passed away unexpectedly at her home in Bellingham over the Memorial Day weekend. She is survived by her brother Ted and sister Jennifer; by her beloved niece, Anna, and grand-niece and nephews.

Born in Boston in 1951, her family moved to Bellingham when she was just two years old. Elizabeth attended Campus School, graduated from Sehome High School, and went on to attend Central Washington State College. She then moved to Denver where she lived for several years. In 1981, she married and moved to Honolulu where she resided until returning to Bellingham in 1993.

In addition to her travels within the US, Elizabeth traveled in Europe and West Africa, ever open to new experiences. Elizabeth had her share of challenges in life and she met them with remarkable resilience and determination. Her thoughtfulness, kindness and unconditional love are her gifts to those she leaves behind.

Contributions in memory of Liz can be made to the Whatcom County Humane Society.
