Sarah was a beloved mother, sister and daughter. She loved working as a dealer at the Four Winds Casino where she worked hard. She had to being the single mother of her six year old son, Tyrese. Three words could describe her: tough, loyal and independent. Sarah had an incredible knack for the culinary arts and anyone who tasted her cooking loved it. She was such a connoisseur of good food that she would drive hours just to go to a specific restaurant, which was also fueled by her love of driving and road trips.
Although she was very adventurous, Sarah spent a lot of time with her family, especially her mother, Sandy and her son, Tyrese. Sarah was full of love for animals, family, and adventures.
