Sara is also survived by step-sisters, Linda Maguire of Georgia, Sandra Maguire, and a step-brother, Joseph Maguire of Orlando, Florida. Sara's family in Louisiana includes an aunt and uncle, Peggy Smith and Charles Smith and cousins, Dr. Andrew Smith, and Aaron Smith, all of Baton Rouge.
Sara was born in Huntington, West Virginia, and moved to Florida at the age of nine. As she was leaving her home in West Virginia, she clutched a crayon and scrawled, "Please take care of my good home" on the garage wall. She was always the one to become attached to good memories. In West Virginia and in her homes in Florida, Sara always surrounded herself and her son with their sweet pets. She loved all plants and animals, from the occasional lizard in the house to her cats, dogs, and guinea pigs and she filled her home with flowers from the garden. She was kind, generous, and a devoted mother to her son, William. She will be missed by all who knew her.
There will be a Memorial Service held at Fountainhead Funeral Home in Palm Bay on Saturday, May 26th at 3:30 PM.
