Sarah attended All Saints School, Regis High School and the University of Iowa, graduating in 1990 with a B.A. degree in political science.

Together they moved briefly to Durham, N.C., then San Francisco, Calif. In San Francisco, Sarah worked for Franklin Templeton before starting a family.

The biggest honor and joy of Sarah's life was being a mother to her three beautiful daughters. She loved them unconditionally and was happiest when they were surrounding her. Sarah enjoyed family visits to the Midwest and spending time each summer on Cape Cod in the town of Chatham, Mass.

Supporting the community was a priority to Sarah. She was an active member of a number of volunteer organizations including the Junior League, the Edgewood Auxiliary and the National Charity League.
