Here she grew up and went to school. In 1951, she came to live in the Bethesda Home in Vineland, ON. From 1979 to 1986, she had the opportunity to live with Peter and Susie Enns in St. Catharines, ON. These were good years for Sara.

In 1986, Sara moved into Tabor Manor in St. Catharines and in 1993, she came home to Manitoba where she lived in Donwood Manor, in Winnipeg, until her death. She was grateful for every kindness of the staff and welcomed visitors. She became a member of the North Kildonan MB Church.
