They brought tears of gratitude to her heart and soul. The hymns, 'The Old Rugged Cross' and 'Amazing Grace' had a very special meaning to her because the lyrics express Christ's sacrifice on the cross and how she was lost but found by God's amazing grace. Her favorite book in the Bible was Romans and her favorite Scripture was Psalm 23 which she knew by heart. She was faithful in worshiping, giving, reading God's Word, daily devotions and singing hymns. She professed faith in Christ as her Lord and Savior and was a member of Edgewood Baptist Church where she was part of the body for 27 years. She was an encourager who cheered others on and made people laugh with her cute and humorous little quips and nostalgic stories. Her sweet and endearing personality drew people to her. She was devoted to nurturing and caring for her grandchildren with a heart of gold and unwavering generosity. She was a homemaker most of her life and was a loving, sacrificial mother and grandmother. Sara attended Lawrence Central schools and as a teenager she assisted with the war effort at Fort Benjamin Harrison during WWII.

She was named after her maternal grandmother, Sarah Gascho. She was born May 21,1928 in Indianapolis, Indiana, the daughter of Clyde A. In the tender hours leading up to her homegoing, she was comforted by a very special doctor and nurse and her daughter singing her favorite hymns in beautiful harmony.
