Sara lived life as an adventure. She loved traveling the world, always seeking out exotic destinations where she could scuba dive and explore new cultures. After returning to the United States, she continued to approach every place she lived as a new chapter worth embracing. She enjoyed watching the Diamondbacks during their World Series run, traveled to Seattle to cheer on the Mariners, and faithfully journeyed back and forth to Houston to attend every possible activity for her grandsons.

Eventually, Sara settled in Seguin, Texas, where she made her home along the river, surrounded by many dear friends. Whether traveling across continents or enjoying quiet moments near the water, Sara found joy in connection, curiosity, and family. She will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, her deep love for her family, and the many lives she touched along the way.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, June 5th at Beach Pavilion #1 in Carlsbad from 4:00–6:00 pm. All who knew and loved her are welcome to join.
