In Loving Memory
Sarah Grooms
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Sarah, a woman whose bright spirit and loving heart left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew her.
Sarah was truly one of a kind, bubbly, smiley and full of life. She had a playful, contagious smile that could light up any room and make people instantly feel at ease. She was the kind of person who would dance in the rain, finding joy in little moments and reminding others to do the same. Her laughter was genuine, her presence comforting and her energy uplifting.
She was creative and found joy in crafting and creating, always adding her personal touch to everything she did. Whether she was cooking a meal or working on something with her hands, she poured love into it. Sarah had a special gift for making people feel welcomed, comfortable and at home.
Sarah loved her children, Leigha Jones, Colton and Ava Grooms, with all her heart and her love for them was always present.
She is survived by her husband, Gary Grooms: her children, Leigha Jones, Colton and Ava Grooms: her mother, Vickey Woodcock and stepfather, Rick Woodcock; as well as her brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews who will cherish her memory.
Though her time with us feels far too short, the joy she brought, love she gave and memories she created will live on in hearts of her children, family and all who knew her.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her kindness, her creativity, her laughter and the beautiful light she brought into this world.
