Sarah was an excellent gift-giver, never missed a special date, an d leaves behind beautiful memories of countless traditions. She was the foundation of her family and there was rarely a holiday t hat she didn't celebrate and it was clear from within their home and carried out onto their front porch. Her grandchildren enjo yed helping her decorate her "holiday tree" that she kept in her living room from Christmas through Memorial Day. She enjoyed mo n thly lunches with her high school classmates and as her health allowed, she would love to dance with Mario. Dancing is when Sarah felt her best and her granddaughters even convinced her to participate in a few TikTok videos.

Leading up to her final days, she enjoyed watching television sitcoms with her "Twinkies". She would convince them to lay with her and watch "Everyone Loves Raymond", "Mike and Molly", and "The Middle". Once the girls left, she'd indulge in her guilty pleasures of Dr. Pepper (with Son i c ice), cookies, and "The Kardashians" or "Chrisley Knows Best". Sarah was proud of her family, and loved to share videos she recorded of Fooey playing his piano or guitar, her older grandsons hunting or playing their favorite sports, a nd the first steps o f her 3 great-granddaughters. She was their constant supporter and ongoing cheerleader. Sarah adored her church and was a member of the Guadalupanas at Holy Spirit and enjoyed her involvement immensely.
