Carlos Quicoli, Agoura Hills, CA; longtime friend Stewart Spivak, Camarillo, CA; and beloved dog Zoey. She was pre-deceased by her parents and daughter Stella Quicoli Christensen.

Sarah was an avid folk dancer in her younger years. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and enjoyed spending time with her family, playing Scrabble, hiking, walking her dog, and volunteering in her community. She was a creative and very caring person and always had a positive outlook regardless of the challenges she faced in life. Her strength was a true inspiration to all who knew her.
