Sarah was a para-educator at Pioneer Elementary for over 10 years, alongside her teacher and partner in education, Billie Parke. She was also a crossing guard, greeting children as they arrived at school with a bright smiling face and waving to people as they drove by. She could always be counted on to remember her co-workers birthdays and special occasions. She took special care to know exactly what a person might enjoy. She was a fixture at Pioneer. Sarah was a cat lover and never met a stray kitten she could leave behind. She tried to find homes for her stray cats but nearly always ended up keeping and naming them.She loved to house sit for her friends and co-workers.
