Bellingham United Methodist Church in Chelsea and a late member of the ladies group, Forget-Me- Nots.  During her retirement she enjoyed crocheting and knitting slippers and blankets for all of her children and grandchildren.  Sarah's wit will be missed by all, as well as her special ability to say the alphabet backwards!
