Obituary

Jasmine Sahnayhtoo

September 4, 2007 - January 3, 2024

Jasmine Melody Sahnayhtoo, 16, passed into Jesus’s arms on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. She was born on September 4, 2007, to Blue and Lily Sahnayhtoo.

Jasmine was a sweet and beautiful girl – inside and out. Her family and friends counted on her contagious smile and loving and giving heart. She was a joy and blessing to all that knew her. She always had a dream for her future: dermatology would allow her to have her dream of a new car and big house. Jasmine worked at the YMCA spreading her joy with the little ones (including her brothers occasionally) and even get paid for doing what she loved! Her Sundays were spent going to church with her beloved grandmother. Jasmine was a talented artist and gifted pianist. Her loving spirit filled a room and the life that shared with all those she loved and who loved her.

Jasmine is survived by her mother, Lily, brothers, Simon and Joshua, grandparents, Potu and Dorothy Htoo, father, Blue Sahnayhtoo, grandparent, Na Pa Own, and great grandmothers, Own mya and Haesa, many uncles, aunts, and cousins, boyfriend Boston Dangerfield, and future step-father, Steve McDonald.

Jasmine will be missed by her family and all her Lincoln High friends and classmates whose lives she touched.

Everybody loved Jasmine.

REVELATION 21:4 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES, AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE, NEITHER WILL MOURNING NOR OUTCRY NOR PAIN. THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” I hope that God’s promises of resurrection here on earth give you some peace and comfort.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Jasmine. Working with her at the YMCA was a pleasure. Her quiet positive attitude was always a welcoming and encouraging presence for both the children that she instructed and those of us who were lucky enough to work with her. She will be missed.

I only got to work with Jasmine a short while at the Cooper YMCA. She was quiet but great with the kids. She seemed so happy following the Christmas season. She will be missed. Your family will be in my prayers.
