Sarah leaves one sister Catherine Tambur of Silverdale, Washington. She was blessed with numerous nieces and nephews whom she adored, she was always thrilled when they came to visit her.

Lost a good friend and will miss her terribly. She always had a bright smile and an infectuous laugh. She loved every one and never had a bad word to say about anyone. When we played cards a her house, she was the greatest hostess and often cooked lunch for us. Lunch was always interesting, sometimes delicious and sometimes unusual.
