Sara loved doing puzzles, playing board games, and playing card games with her friends and family. Especially gin and mahjong. She was a very talented artist, with a collection of beautiful paintings and a vast set of crochet projects which she would often gift to her many friends and family. Lovely was often a word used as a description by those who were lucky to meet her. Her laugh was as infectious as her kindness and loved by those who heard it.
Overall, Sara was a caretaker, who not only raised her sons, but was always there for the many families with whom she was close. Later working as a nursery school teacher, she made an impact on every family that passed through her classroom.
Sara is survived by her husband Matthew, her sons Michael and Zachary, her mother Gladie, her father Ray, her siblings Beth and John, as well as seventeen cousins and sixteen nieces and nephews.
