A native Delawarean, Sarah graduated from James H. Groves High School in Georgetown. Her path led to a lifelong career as a waitress in the restaurant business of Southern Delaware, including IHOP of Rehoboth Beach and Pizza Palace in Georgetown. She took pride in her work and over the course of her career, she served thousands of people, and made many friends. Sarah took joy in the simple things of life, listening to good music, drawing, crocheting and all things that involved being outdoors, including fishing and spending time soaking up the sun at the beach. Sarah was a loving daughter, wife, mother, sister, co-worker, and friend. Sarah will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
