Sarah Marie Yedynak

Oconto - Sarah Marie "Sarbear" Yedynak, 26, passed away on Sunday, February 2, 2025, in Oconto, Wisconsin.

Born on December 6, 1998, Sarah was the beloved daughter of Heather Samsa and John Reynolds. She was raised by her maternal grandparents, John and Ronda Montgomery, and shared a close bond with her great-grandmother, Ethel Stich.

Sarah had a deep love for animals and people alike. As a child, she embraced her adventurous spirit and participated in cross country, cheerleading, and the arts during her school years. She later became a manager at McDonald's in Abrams, where she cherished her McDonald's family as much as they cherished her.

Her greatest joy in life was her family. She is survived by her husband, Zander Yedynak, and their son, Zayne. She also leaves behind her parents; sister Crystal and niece Alayaa; paternal grandparents Rosie and Neil Reynolds; uncles Harry and Jay (Johnny); aunts Julie, Ashley, and godmother Nicole; uncle Nathan Schroeder; special cousin Morgan; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Her in-laws include Robert and Crystal Yedynak; grandparents Jay and Debbie Kitchenmaster (Grand Ma Ma); siblings-in-law Zak (Amy) and Zaiden (Maddy). A special mention goes to John Timm, whom she lovingly referred to as Dad.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandfather, Harry Stich Sr.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the Oconto County Sheriff's Office, rescue teams, fire department, state patrol, Rhodes Charapata Funeral Home, Associated Bank, and the supportive community of Oconto for their kindness during this difficult time.

Sarah's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
