Sarah Hoshauer Obituary

TUSCOLA - Sarah Elizabeth Jones Hoshauer, beloved wife of Brad, precious daughter of David and Jane, and adored older sister of Jonathan and Daniel, passed away at 11:31 a.m. Monday (Feb. 3, 2025) at Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana.

Sarah was born Jan. 20, 1977, at Jarman Hospital in Tuscola. She attended Tuscola schools and graduated in 1995. She graduated in 1997 from Parkland College and worked many years as a legal assistant in Champaign. She had currently been employed in the Douglas County circuit clerk's office. Sarah was a member of the Tuscola Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Brad and Sarah married on Nov. 23, 1996, and recently celebrated 28 years of marriage.

Survivors include her husband, Brad; parents, David and Jane Jones; brothers Jonathan (Kari Black) and Daniel (Ashley); grandmother, Betty Jones; cousins, Jeremy (Angi) Jones and family and Josh (Ashley) Jones and family; parents-in-law, Francis and Linda Hoshauer; sisters-in-law, Kim (Chad) Curl and Danyelle Hoshauer; brothers-in-law, Adam (Aimee) Hoshauer and Glenn Hoshauer; uncle, James Mason; and nieces and nephews Lilly, Austin, Kolton, Kaylee, Alex, Landon, Jade, Waylin, Jaylynn, Noah, Ellie and Emmett.

Sarah also had many special friends who mourn her loss.

Preceding her in death were her brother Timothy; grandparents, Richard and Martha Mason and Edward Jones; and uncle and aunt Ronnie and Rita Jones.

Sarah was a beautiful person both inside and out. She was smart, creative, funny and cared so much for all her family, friends, pets and vacations on the beach in Destin, Fla. We all loved her deeply and will miss her very much until we see her again.

Services will be at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, Camargo, on Sunday, Feb. 9, with Rick Hathaway officiating. Memorial services will begin at 2 p.m. with visitation starting one hour earlier.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I was just thinking about Sarah the other day and how much fun we had going to Canada and Bethel when we were teenagers. We had so many in-jokes that we made out of that trip. Sarah was always amazing to be around. She taught me how to thread a needle, included me in her slumber parties where we scared ourselves watching "The Bride of Frankenstein", and lent me countless books. She was a beautiful person inside and out and she will be missed. Much love to you all,
Lara
