SARA STRAIN Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 20 to Mar. 21, 2015.
Sara Ann Strain, AKA "Geema" was called home into Gods kingdom on March 9th, 2015 to make her famous apple pies in heaven. Heaven is certainly much brighter because of Geema's smile and smells more beautiful because of the flowers she is planting, and is a bit funkier thanks to her vibrant eclectic sock collection. In her earthly life she was surrounded with love from her husband Dave, Son Aaron, daughter in law Tara, Sister Sherry, stepdaughters Wendi and Kara and grandchildren Noah, Chloe, Justin, Nik, Cam, and Quinn. She has been reunited in her eternal life with her parents, John and Helen, her in laws Leo and Connie grandchildren Sean and Max and generations of previous family members. She is also reunited with the many pets and other stray animals that she loved and cared for during her time with us. The family would like to invite those whose lives she touched to please join us in a celebration of her life at Wildwood Presbyterian Church, 18630 W Old Gages Lake Road, Grayslake, Illinois 60030 on Saturday April 4, 2015 at 2:30PM. Please in lieu of flowers donate to one of the following: Wildwood Presbyterian Church, American Cancer Society, Your choice of Animal care and rescue organizations. In Sara's honor, please come to her celebration wearing the craziest socks you own. Sincerely The Family of Sara Strain

Bob and I will always remember Sara for her ever changing attire. She was always a breath of fresh air in a society of conformity. Her presence will be missed. Linda and Bob Weidman

Sara will always hold a special place in my heart. She was so involved in things that were important to her, especially her love of animals. Many times I would visit to find she had once again adopted a new pet in order to nurse them back to health. I also have fond memories of the flea markets we visited, looking for the best deals! She will be missed. My heart goes out to you, Dave and your family.
