Sara Sutherland Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 30, 2023.
Sara Tarlton (Loats) Sutherland, 47, passed away unexpectedly on June 22, 2023. Sara was born in California and raised in Jamestown, RI. In recent years, she has lived in Nantucket, MA. Sara is survived by her mother Tarlton Heath Cooper, her father Tom Loats and step-mother Julie (Deutsch) Loats, her son Nathaniel Sutherland, her sister Jenny (Loats) Donahue and her husband Kevin Donahue, her ex-husband Dale Sutherland, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Sara especially loved her only child, Nathaniel. She was very proud of him, and often took the time to share pictures and updates about him. She adored him. Sara's other passions included fishing, gardening, and astronomy. She was known to have a quick wit.

The family held a private service at Hallett Funeral Home in South Yarmouth, MA. In lieu of flowers, family and friends are asked to make a donation in Sara's name to Save the Bay, 100 Save the Bay Drive, Providence, RI, 02905, or online at www.savebay.org.

Dear Jenny, Heath and family,

We cherished out time at Green Lane and were especially lucky and happy to have you as our next door neighbors. Always kind and curious, Sara was the cool older kid to our sons, Taylor, Alex and curious. We can only offer our sympathies for the loss of your your beloved Sara and wish that happy memories replace the sadness of her loss.
