Sarah Cobbs Obituary

On the anniversary of your passing I celebrate your life & the love & care you always gave to me & our children. You were Gods gift to us & I will never forget you!

Dr. Cobbs was a remarkable doctor, it has been almost 30 years since I last saw her, however her impact on me was timeless. She was the the epitimy of compassion.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. My family met you on Western and you brought comfort to my daughter (Kellie)who is 19. We were sad to see you leave for Florida, but we always wish the best for you and your family.

What can I say about Dr. Cobbs?! I LOVED her so much! She was my FAVORTIE Doctor. I hated getting shots, but she always made me feel better. She was Pediatrician from birth. I remember begging her to see me until I had children of my own. Toward the end of her practice in Chicago on Western, I came into the office for a routine check-up. I walked toward the back where she was seeing a patient and spoke. She said, "Hey nothing. Scrub up and get to work!" I said, "Huh?!" She told me, "You know the drill. Get gowns for the patients and make sure the parents fill out the proper papers. I'll be there in a minute." I had a mean mug but I did it just for her. She had a way of making the children feel safe in her care.
To her family, you have my deepest and heartfelt condolences. The Stevensonyoung family appreciates the opportunity to share her with you all. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your everyday existence with her. We love you Dr. Cobbs and we will miss you!

To Sarah's family,
I share your grief. My prayer is that you will be comforted and at peace in God. My heart weeps, I miss my friend. I am a much better person for having shared a part of my life's journey with her. She will always live in my heart.

My sincerest condolences to the Cobbs family. Dr. Sarah Cobbs was the most wonderful pediatrician to me growing up. I spent so much time at her office on Western, she was like my second mother. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. Once when I was really sick, my mom didn't have a car that day, and Dr. Sarah came to our home to examine me. My parents and I still talk about that till this day. Nobody could believe she made a house call. They were so grateful to her. She said I actually had the worst case of chickenpox she'd ever seen, and she was sitting there crying with my mom. I always thought she was so beautiful too. I just wish she was still here to be my children's pediatrician. She will be greatly missed, and we will all remember how lucky we were to have her in our lives.

I would like to express my wishes for peace and comfort to the family of Dr. Cobbs. She was a good colleague, respected by the patients and their families as well as staff at MHS. We will miss you.

To the Cobbs family, I offer only my sincerest condolences after hearing of Sarah's passing this morning. I have nothing but the most indelibly fondest memories of her and her old office on S. Western Av. while growing up on the Southwest Side during the 1980's. She shined forth with an indomitable beacon of energy and heart during each visit my family spent in her care. And every gift of school artwork I gave her hung on her office walls never to be taken down for many years later! From pre-school all the way thru my college vaccinations, she was a very dear friend who saw me grow up through so much...and I'm ever so grateful to have known her in my life, God Bless...

We would like to express our sincere condolences to the Cobbs family. Dr. Cobbs was our daughter Rabihah pediatrician for many years. Dr Cobbs came highly recommended and respected by all whom she treated. Dr. Robert Simmons and Family

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Doctor Cobbs, I loved being one of your patients as a little girl. When my family didn't know what to do when I was having seizures u help to give them a piece of mind and help to cure me along the way. GOD BLESS U AND THE ENTIRE COBBS FAMILY.

I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of Sarah Cobbs. These are difficult times, however, much comfort can be found God's Word the Bible with such scriptures as Isa.25:8, and Ps. 37:11.

I read about the passing of Dr. Cobbs in today's paper. She was my children's (Adam, Jacob, and David)pediatrician when I lived in the Chicago area. I was always treated with professionalism and kindness. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends and colleagues.

Sarah was such a friend and colleague when she was working at LCM. When I had my own children there was no question of who was to be their doctor. She cared for them with compassion and humor. She laughed heartily about my kids antics. I know she did this for countless others. Her family was lucky to have her.

not only has the world lost a great physician, but i have lost a great dear friend.you have always been there for me.after working with you for 4yrs it hard to believe that i wont see you on this earth anymore.im so much wiser for just knowing you.love you,miss you.

Dr. Cobbs,

I had always thought you would be around to be a pediatrician to my own children someday, but I guess I took too long. I wanted my children to start life with a warm, caring, dedicated professional who gave you the best care...like you did for me and my brother when we were children. As a person, you were precious and an inspiration. As a doctor and professional, you were a rarity. May God give you everlasting peace and rest and love. To Sarah's family my deepest condolences.

With great sympathy,
Charlotte Banks

It is with great sorrow that I have learned of the passing of dear Dr. Sarah. Dr. Sarah was the most kind and loving doctor, unparralleled in my experience. She tended my children as if they were her own through many hospitalizations and illnesses. This past Saturday at my daughter's wedding we spoke of her and how we wished we could see her again and have her share in this special day. It appears the angels guided her there. God bless you, Sarah, and shower upon you the love, rest and comfort that you gave so freely and lovingly to us all.
Love, Peg and Arnie Bodinet, Elizabeth Flynn, Dave and Phil Bodinet
