Elizabeth Jebert

Elizabeth Jebert, 81, passed in peace from complications of a stroke on Sunday, June 7, 2015 with family by her side. Elizabeth was born July 23, 1933 in Abony, Hungary to Borbala and Karoly Kiss. She was the 12th born of 14 children who have all preceded her in death.

In 1956, during the Hungarian Revolution, Elizabeth and her husband escaped with their young children to Canada searching for freedom. They eventually made their way to America and settled in Fallbrook, which she always called their “little piece of heaven on earth” for 45 years.

Although wartime in her homeland stopped Elizabeth from attaining an education past the sixth grade, her tireless energy and tremendous work ethic made her dreams to become a cosmetologist and a seamstress come true. Elizabeth loved to create magic with material and was also an excellent baker. She worked hard to teach herself English and was proud to become an American citizen.

Elizabeth will always be remembered as God’s gift to us as she blessed those she knew with kindness, compassion and love.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her husband of 64 years, Steve Jebert; son Steve; daughter and son-in-law Elizabeth and Jim Jacobs; daughter and son-in-law Rose and Vance Walberg; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren and other loving relatives and friends.

There will be a memorial Mass Monday, June 29 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Fallbrook followed by interment at Mission San Luis Rey.
