Sara is preceded in death by her husband Stewart Dunlap; her daughter Shelley Hohman; grandson Sean Hohman; brother Harold 'Buster' Heatherly; sister Joanne Paulk; and nephew David Heatherly.

She also has several great-nieces and great-nephews; and many dear friends. Sara was a kind, beautiful person inside and out. She found most of her life's joy in loving and spending time with her family and friends. Sara worked in business administration most of her adult life, including working for and retiring from Advent Health. Sara believed God blessed her with a long, full life. Although her life had many struggles and challenges, she rose above them with God's help and the love of her family. Words cannot describe how much we will miss her; but thankful she is now with God and reunited with family in Paradise.
