Sarah was artistic from the time she could hold a crayon and would spend hours quietly drawing. There was always a shortage of blank paper when Sarah was nearby! After attending various elementary schools, Sarah entered Arthur A. Leach for Junior High. There she made many good and lasting friendships. Sarah graduated from Vincent Massey Collegiate in 2009, completed her U1 year at the U of M and was poised to begin the Graphic Design program at RRCC. Sarah enjoyed cooking, especially baking and making sweet potato pie with Zach. Her signature dish was her special Mars Bar Fudge. Although Sarah was a quiet and private person, she loved her friends and was a strength to many of them when she was needed. She especially enjoyed good times with them at their cabins. Sarah had fond memories of the summers spent in Ontario and of the family reunions when all the cousins got together. This summer she had a wonderful time with the Bohonos family in Washington state.
