As a volunteer and supporter, Sarah was an asset to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. She was no nonsense as Dave Ryan mentioned and had a sarcastic sense of humor that I appreciated. I will miss talking and joking with her.
My condolences to her family.

I always enjoyed talking with Sarah during my time at the Pioneers Museum. She was a no nonsense kind of person with a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Sarah. I knew her as a docent at the zoo and saw her when she came to the lab at Evans Hospital at Ft. Carson. She was one tough
cookie and I really liked her.
May God bless Sarah and all of you and help you through this painful time.
