Sarah Menning Obituary
August 10, 1980
May 7, 2017
Our beloved Sarah "TeeTee" passed away unexpectedly on Sunday evening at her home in Sparks.
Sarah was a loving daughter to Greg Menning and Mary Ann Falconer, step-daughter to Debbie Menning and Les Falconer, cherished sister to Sally Menning and Shelly Menning and a blessing to her nephews and niece Darren Menning, Ashton Grubb and Brianna Grubb. She is also survived by multiple step-siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles and step-grandparents and her lifelong friend Erica Van.
We will gather to remember and celebrate Sarah's life on Monday May 15th at 11:00am at Walton's Funeral Home, 875 W 2nd St, Reno. Friends and family are welcome to come and share with the family as we celebrate Sarah's life and the enormous impact she left on our hearts.
Sarah was a most loyal and valued employee of Walmart at the Sparks store for nearly 11 years bringing joy to many customers who came to know her over that time.
Sarah will forever be remembered in our hearts. Despite this difficult time we realize how blessed we are to have had such a beautiful soul be the heart of our family. Her infectious smile, her contagious laugh and generous heart attracted anyone who she crossed paths with. Family was especially important to Sarah, something she valued over all else. All who knew Sarah, knew her tremendous love and pride for her beloved niece and nephews who were the light of her life.
As hard as it is to cope with losing her, we take comfort in knowing that she is with her Lord and her loving grandparents, Andy and Thelma Menning, Harry and Mary Seavey, her Uncle Doug and cousin Mandy.
We'll love you forever, our precious Punky Nose, Big "Lil" Sis, TeeTee.

Sarah was such a sweetie and a wonderful Walmart employee. My sister Amber worked with her for 10 years and says it's just not the same there. I always saw her walking to and from work off of Los Altos, and asked her if she needed a ride one day, which she accepted. She was so appreciative and warmed my heart. From then on out she always smiled and waved to my husband and I when we were shopping. She is so missed already and was such a beautiful person inside and out. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

I've worked with Sarah at Walmart for 10 years, and I miss her so much already. We shared lunch together often and she became one of my closest friends throughout the years. Anytime I needed something she was always willing to lend a kind hand. Walmart is not the same without her smile and presence, but I'm so thankful for the time I did get to spend with her.

The prayers of many are with Sarah's family at this time of sorrow. I pray God gives you, "the power beyond what is normal", so that you can endure each day's pain. 2 Corinthians 4:7

Even though I met Sarah a couple times, I knew she was a special person and me feel like she was a life long friend. She had a contagious smile and a wonderful personality. There are only a few people like Sarah that you meet your life time and we don't really know how special they are till after they gone from your life. Sarah will be missed in my heart.

Sarah always had a smile that would light the room. As a associate she was a hard worker and was an asset to Wal-Mart. We all at Spanish Springs Wal-Mart will forever miss her. Remember all the laughter and smiles she brought to her family and others that will get all of us through the sad times but most of all this angel will be watching over all of us left on this earth and we shall meet again

I worked as a vendor on and off at the Walmart in Sparks for several years. I looked forward to seeing Tee Tee as she always had a smile and good word waiting for me when I saw her. I truly will miss that wonderful, positive, personality, that always brightened my day.
