Sarah Annie Perlitz, 37, of Charleston, South Carolina, entered into eternal rest Monday, March 30, 2026. Her Graveside Service will be held Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at the Emanu-El Cemetery (Maryville), Sycamore Avenue, at 1:00 pm. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc., West Ashley Chapel.
Sarah was born October 28, 1988 in Charleston, South Carolina, daughter of Myron Perlitz and Sandra Pinosky Perlitz. Sarah’s greatest gift to the world was in her ability to leave others feeling more themselves. In the way that she allowed others to step fully and unapologetically into themselves, without worry of judgement by others. She was a light further brightening the lives of all she impressed upon. Sarah will leave this world as a once incredible older sister, friend to all, and proponent of positive energy.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her brother, Bradley Hyman Perlitz; sister, Avery Rose (Tyler) Cribbs; grandmother, Leah G Pinosky; aunt, Karen and uncle, Mark Pinosky; cousins, Allie (David) Gaines and Seth (Karen) Pinosky.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Blanche C Cohen; and grandfather, Aaron Ronald Pinosky.
Memorials may be made to Pet Helpers, 1447 Folly Road, Charleston, SC 29412; or to Synagogue Emanu-El, 5 Windsor Dr., Charleston, SC 29407.
