Sarah Marie Krueger, age 26, passed away on Friday, August 22, 2025, in West Fargo, ND.
Born on April 28, 1999, in Fargo, she was the cherished daughter of Jason Krueger and Deseray Peterson. Sarah grew up in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she attended school and proudly graduated from Moorhead High School in 2017.
Following her high school graduation, Sarah pursued her passion for helping others by enrolling at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND. There, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, embodying her dedication to caring for those in need. During her time in college, Sarah gained invaluable experience working at Eventide Moorhead and Maple View in Grand Forks. She continued her commitment to health care as a nurse in the Emergency Room at Sanford in Fargo after her graduation from college.
Sarah was known for her adventurous spirit, and she delighted in traveling. She was always eager to learn new things. Among her many interests, Sarah found joy in reading, listening to music and she had recently taken up painting. When she was younger, she participated in dance and soccer. In high school she served as a statistician for the high school wrestling team.
Above all, her greatest happiness came from spending time with her family and friends. A family reunion in Jamestown, ND and a recent trip to Florida stands out as cherished memories, highlighting the love and connection shared among her family members.
Sarah is survived by her parents, Deseray (Michael) Sax and Jason (Sue) Krueger; her siblings, Parker and Miriah Sax and Blake Krueger; and her grandparents, Rhonda (Craig) Peterson, Mark (Melinda) Sax, Sharie (Mike) Dowling, Keith (Jeanne) Krueger, Eugene Walcker, and Alan Weixel. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and her close friends, Taylor Holt, Brooke Elise, and Bailey Young, who will remember her with love and fondness.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Michele Walcker and Darlene Weixel; and great-grandparents, Marcella Krueger and Benny (Iola) Peterson.
Sarah Marie Krueger's light will forever shine in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her kindness, compassion, and adventurous spirit will be dearly missed, and her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched.
