She was born in Langhorne, Pa., and resided in Princeton Junction, N.J., prior to settling in Jackson Township 13 years ago.

Sarah was a 2019 graduate of Jackson Regional Day School.

In May 2019, Sarah celebrated her 21st birthday at the Lakewood Country Club with 50 of her closest family and friends.

She attended the signing of "Rett Syndrome Awareness Day" at the statehouse in Trenton, N.J., and also participated in Mercer Miracle League Baseball.

Sarah was a "girly girl" who loved clothes and lots of bling. Some of the things she enjoyed were attending Rutgers basketball games, going to the beaches in Cape May and Point Pleasant, shopping at the mall, going to the movies with her nurses, getting "dressed up" for her yearly proms, riding her special bike, horseback riding, and listening to music. She was especially fond of her many doctors and nurses who cared for her.
