Laura Tina Sarbach

Laura Tina Sarbach, age 54, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. She was born on September 30, 1972, in Cleveland, Ohio, the daughter of Josephine Marie (Abate) and Robert James Carlson. Growing up in her younger years, Laura was then a lifelong Geauga area resident, graduating from West Geauga High School. She loved the stars and the moon, growing her own herbs to make aroma oils, and gardening. Laura couldn’t pass up the opportunity shop for treasures at yard and garage sales and flipping them for someone else to love. She would make all kinds of crafting items using her Cricut skills. Now days she could be found driving for her Amish customers and hanging out with her beloved best dog, JoJo.

Laura is preceded in death by her father, Robert. Survivors include her children, Mitchell T. MacDonald of Chardon, Ohio, Justin T. MacDonald of Chesterland, Ohio, Hunter T. Sarbach of Hiram, Ohio, and Madeline T. Graves of Hiram, Ohio; her mom Josephine Carlson of Mentor, Ohio; and her sister, Renee (James) Dressler-Denholm of Mentor, Ohio.
