Sarah was a devoted wife to her late husband, Manning Brown, with whom she shared over 20 years of marriage. Sarah was a cherished mother to her daughter, Teresa Hinson. Her family was her pride and joy, and she often spoke of her proudest moments, including the birth of her daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and earning her certification in childcare.

Sarah dedicated her life to working with children, a career that brought her immense satisfaction and joy. She was also an active member of her church and community, contributing her time and effort to voting initiatives and working at the polls in Amityville, NY. Her faith was an integral part of her life, and she served as a deaconess and a missionary, roles that she held with great honor. Additionally, Sarah served as an ambassador for Dialysis Clinic, Inc. Goose Creek and Nexton, where she mentored new patients.

Sarah’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and service. She will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her community, and her faith. Her favorite songs included "Pass Me Not" and "Let the Church Say Amen," and she had special fondness for the colors blue and black.
