Through the years, Sara was known for her splendid cooking ability, the many bowling trophies she earned, and her activity in the Dearborn Garden Club. Her culture and refinement kept her in constant touch with her enjoyment of music and the arts, taking numerous trips to Detroit Symphony Concerts and attending presentations in Stratford, Ontario.
