As a child she transitioned to O’Berry Center in Goldsboro, NC. Sara returned to Albemarle as an adult to reside in the group home on East Main Street.
Sara always had a smile for those around her and was loved by many. She enjoyed meeting and interacting with new people, going shopping, eating out in restaurants, playing pool, and hanging out at the park.
