Sarah DeVasto Obituary

DeVasto, Sarah M. Passed away peacefully on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013 in Fort Collins, CO where she resided, at the age of 31. Loving daughter of Daniel T. DeVasto and Marian Wynkoop (Tracy), beloved sister to Spencer, beloved granddaughter to Helen M. DeVasto and dearest niece, cousin and friend to many. Sarah grew up in the Kirkwood/Webster area, attended Webster Groves High School and moved to Colorado with her family. As the result of a tragic accident, Sarah spent the last 6 years of her life as a C-0 quadriplegic. She continued to live life to its fullest and remain a positive influence to all she encountered. Sarah was, and still remains a true inspiration; she is dearly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, contributions appreciated to Heifer International, http://heifer.org/ Services: Family and friends to gather for a memorial mass at 10 am on Saturday, May 4 at St. Peter Catholic Church, 243 W Argonne Dr Kirkwood, MO 63122.
