Jill Sakol Snow
January 9,1969-April 17, 2018
Jill Sakol Snow died early Tuesday morning at her home in San Francisco, after a ten-year battle with breast cancer. She graduated from Piedmont High School and the University of California at Irvine, and received her MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business. She worked as a fixed income financial analyst successively at Standard and Poor's, DLJ, Credit Suisse, and, for the last 14 years, American Century Investments.
Jill loved adventure, traveling through Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, from trekking in Nepal to safaris in Tanzania and snorkeling in the Galapagos. She climbed Mt. Shasta with friends from her cancer support group, Bay Area Young Survivors.
She is survived by her husband Scott, her sons Dylan (13) and Sam (10), her sister Jodi of Washington DC (Chris Lapetina), and her parents, Marlene and Jon Sakol of Piedmont.
A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 20, 2018, at Congregation Emanu-El, 2 Lake Street, San Francisco. Internment will be at 1:00 p.m. at Home of Eternity Cemetery, 5000 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, followed by a gathering at Jill's childhood home in Piedmont.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Jill's memory to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, NY, NY.
