Sarah Elizabeth Nadeau Wisely came into this world earlier than expected on July 26, 1993, excited to live life, and left it too soon at the age of 31 years old on December 5, 2024. She grew up in Collegeville, PA and Chester Springs, PA and moved to Elverson, PA several years ago.
She was loved fiercely by her parents, Michael and Donna Wisely (Nadeau); brothers, Timothy Wisely (NV) and Jake Wisely (Lancaster, PA); grandparents, Carol Nadeau (MA) and William & Patricia Wisely (King of Prussia, PA); aunts and uncles, Karen & Miguel Concepcion (MA), Beth & Dan Ballard (CT), Julie Nadeau-Amaral (MA), William & Santina Wisely (Phoenixville, PA), Mark & Lauriel Wisely (Quarryville, PA), Kathleen Thompson & Matthew Gambone (King of Prussia, PA); and many cousins.
She was predeceased by her grandfather, Robert R. Nadeau and her uncle, Cesar Amaral.
Sarah loved fashion, music, candy, especially if it was chewy, making trips to Walmart or Wawa at midnight, hanging with her father while sitting by the ocean, swimming, the feeling of freedom while riding on the back of a motorcycle, conversations with people from all walks of life, and above all Sarah loved LIFE.
Sarah made an instant impact on everyone who met her. She will remain a bright light in all the people she touched as she lives now in their hearts.
Sarah was a warrior and strived to always do good for others, therefore, if interested in donating in her memory, the family has identified the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, https://dogood.t2t.org/give/320847/. This foundation carries out its mission to “do good” by providing mortgage-free homes to other kinds of warriors like gold star and fallen first responder families with young children.
Relatives and friends are invited to her Visitation 7:00-9:00 PM Friday, December 13, 2024 at the Donohue Funeral Home, 43 W. Lancaster Ave, Downingtown, PA and 10:00-11:00 AM Saturday, December 14, 2024, followed by her Funeral Service 11:00 AM at Brick Lane Community Church, 52 S. Brick Lane, Elverson, PA. Interment Private.
