Kristina Marie Sabo Pittman, 36, of Great Falls, MT peacefully passed away February 27, 2023 at Hospice of Union County NC.
Kristina was born in Great Falls, MT December 16, 1986 to Jack and Debbora Sabo. She was the 4th of 5 siblings. She grew up in Great Falls and graduated from Great Falls High School in 2005. Soon after, she joined the Navy as an Aviation support equipment technician and started her new journey. She loved to travel. The Navy took her to Florida, Virginia, and California. Kristi had two young sons that were her life, Noah and Karter. She loved spending every minute she could with her boys. She loved the outdoors, hiking, camping, skiing, holidays, baking, the beach, the lake, family gatherings and family vacations. She had a love for watching football and the Pittsburgh Steelers. She looked forward to the times her siblings would all be in town together and enjoy each others company. In 2020 Kristi retired from the Navy and moved back to MT. She spent the next couple of years catching up on life and family time. She joined a local church and had a love for God. She spent most days at her sister’s house and enjoying retirement with her boys. In September 2022 Kristi moved to Charlotte, NC she took on a position helping the homeless find employment and giving out care packages to those in need. She felt it was her purpose and loved how rewarding it was to help people.

She is proceeded in death by her parents Jack and Debbora Sabo; grandmother, Louise Chisamore and grandparents, Harry and Mary Sabo.
Kristina had the biggest heart and sarcastic sense of humor. She had a love for her family and friends and a contagious smile. She was fearless and had an invincible attitude. She will be missed by so many. Per her request there will not be a funeral. A celebration of life will be determined at a later date.

Kristi will always be one of my best friends. We shared the most memorable times together in High school. Our “group” had all kinds of wonderful memories that even as an adult I think back to and smile often. Memories only we as a group shared. We were a tight knit group of several gals that spent most of our days together. Kristi was an extraordinary person. People liked her personality and she made us all laugh with her sharp remarks. She has always had a big heart with a hard outer shell. Life isn’t fair and she wasn’t around long enough for her boys but I am so happy she’s at peace. I believe in heaven there is no pain and she is very happy. I pray for her boys for comfort as this is going to be a very hard transition for them and all of the entire Sabo family. Thinking of you often and praying for your family. Kristi will be missed, very very much.

Sending my condolences to the Sabo Family during this time of grief. Kristi kept me out of a lot of trouble when I had first moved to Great Falls from Miami. I was more concerned about the snow and being homesick and she was more concerned about keeping “lil buddy head” in line and focused on the things that was there to do for fun. We always talked about the infamous graduation party (If you know you know) and if you don’t you would’ve had to have been there. My heart goes out to everyone especially Noah and Karter as we all navigate this Grieving process. Together we must keep her legacy alive through the jokes, shenanigans and putting others before ourselves.

We are crying tears of sorrow here on Earth and she is crying tears of joy in the arms of her mother in Heaven. Hold strong to each other and let God give you strength and endurance. Make sure her sons drink Dr. Pepper and eat tacos!

I served with Kristina at oceana she was a wonderful person and one of the strongest women I have ever met. Her smile mad everyone’s day better and her attitude always lifted everyone up I can’t believe this is true and I’m in disbelief may she rest in piece and I’m still in shock she was such a wonderful person and mother she will forever be missed.
