She was born February 4, 1935 in Little Falls, NY to the late Marcie and Caroline Dolch Skinner. She graduated from Little Falls High School in 1953 where, according to her yearbook, she was known as “pretty to walk with and witty to talk with”.

Sara retired in 1999 from Met Life after 21 dedicated years as a SR. Claims Approver for the Mobil Oil Executive Plan. After retirement, she worked at the Office of the Aging in Herkimer, NY. Sara loved visiting with all eight of her children; spending time with family and friends was very important to her. She had a sharp mind and loved talking politics and watching British tv shows. In her later years she enjoyed puzzles and coloring. She enjoyed eating at restaurants, her favorite being Ruggerio’s. She was strong, sophisticated and had a heart of gold. She was truly a people person and was loved by everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
