Sarah Ellen Donohoe has been and always will be remembered as the matriarchal sister, dear mother, storytelling grandmother and “Great” Sarah for the great-grandkids. Life is whatever you make of it, and Sarah Donohoe made a life for her and her family that was both fulfilling and satisfying. Her memory is forever etched in the land she helped cultivate and the memories of her family and friends - always a good day’s work.
