Sarai Slaughter Obituary

Slaughter, Sarai Noel of Longmont, CO, died January 29, 2013 at Longmont United Hospital. She was 33 years old. Sarai was born December 2, 1979 in Farmington, New Mexico and moved to St. Louis with her mother shortly thereafter. She was a 1993 graduate of St. Anthony of Padua Elementary School and a 1997 graduate of RosatiKain High School. Sarai had been accepted by St. Louis University and was looking forward to college life. In early July following her high school graduation, all of her hopes and aspirations were lost in a tragic automobile accident caused by a driver who was irresponsibly dialing his cell phone. Sarai loved art, music and cooking. She loved her family and friends and will always be remembered for her sense of humor and her helpful, loving spirit. She is survived by her mother, Jodi Slaughter of Longmont, Colorado, her aunt, Lisa Telthorst of Ballwin, her uncle, Dean Telthorst and cousins Zach and Connor Telthorst of Chesterfield, her uncle and aunt, Bill and Anne Slaughter and cousins Michael and Andrew Slaughter of St. Charles, and cousins Patrick (Helen) and Tilden Slaughter of Dallas, Texas, and many cousins in the St. Louis area. Services: A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Louis Priory, Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Contributions in Sarai's memory may be made to the Rosati-Kain Building Fund at: Build the Dream, Live the Legacy, Mail Stop 230100, PO Box 798307, St. Louis, MO 63179-8000.
