Sarah Armstrong Obituary

Visit the Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematorium - Littleton website to view the full obituary.

Sarah “Sally” Armstrong, of Franconia, NH, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025, at the age of 64.

Born on November 2, 1961, Sally grew up immersed in movement and a deep love of animals. From an early age, dancing and time spent with horses were central to her life and remained steady sources of peace throughout her years. She lived with a tender, generous heart, expressed through laughter, kindness, and the simple way she made people feel safe being exactly who they were. Her presence was warm and unguarded, and people—and animals—felt genuinely loved in her company.

She had a special connection to water, believing in its power and its life-giving force. This deeply held conviction mirrored her approach to life and her belief in service to others. Later in life, she returned to school and became a nurse. Caring for others came naturally to her and reflected both her compassion and her desire to heal.

Sally is survived by her children, Cameron and David (“DJ”); her son-in-law, Kevin; her grandchildren, Esme, Callan, and August; her beloved horse, Mozambique Spice (“Mo”); and her siblings, Stewart, Janet, and David, who will carry forward her love, values, and memory.

A memorial service celebrating Sally’s life will be held on April 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Community Church of Christ in Franconia. Rev. Robin Bartlett will preside. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and reflection and are encouraged to wear tie-dye in honor of Sally’s favorite attire and her hippie heart.

Sally cherished animals and all creatures great and small. In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations in her memory to New England Equine Rescue – North, Inc., supporting the rescue and care of neglected and at-risk horses and donkeys.

She will be remembered for her generosity of spirit and the enduring love she gave so freely. Her life and love were, and will remain, a gift.
