Sara’s passion for giving back was evident in her extensive volunteer work at a local homeless shelter, where her selflessness shined brightly. Her dedication to serving others earned her the Volunteer of the Year award, a testament to her belief in making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Sara leaves behind her father, John Smith Sr., and the precious memories of her late mother, Susan Smith, and her brother, James Smith. They will carry her spirit forever in their hearts.
