Popular local newsagent passes away

March 17, 2010 By Rob Powell

Last Evening Standard sign at Sabo Newsagents

Bette Sabo, a much loved local newsagent known to many local residents, has passed away at the age of 83.

Bette started working at the family shop in Stockwell Street seventy years ago when she was aged just 13 – a time when King George VI was on the throne and Britain was at war.

A funeral service for Bette will take place at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church on Crooms Hill on Tuesday 30th March at 1.30pm

    WE will miss her too. Bette – and her much-loved moggies, especially in the days when they used to sleep on top of the magazine display in the window – were a wonderful part of the Stockwell Street vibe.
