Remembering Sarah Young

Our beautiful Sarah passed away after a long and difficult journey, surrounded by love. She was a true social butterfly — full of laughter, music, and heart. Anyone who knew Sarah remembers her smile and her energy, especially during her days in the Sprague High School marching band in Salem, Oregon. Music was her joy and her outlet.

In recent years, Sarah found her way back to stability and purpose. She began working with Church at the Park in Salem, helping to advocate for people experiencing homelessness and addiction — the same struggles she had so courageously faced and overcome. Her compassion and empathy made her a source of hope for many in her community.

We’re asking for help to cover funeral and memorial service expenses so we can honor her life with the dignity she deserves. Any funds beyond those costs will go directly to her children, Dylon and Violet, to support them as they navigate this loss.

Every contribution — no matter the size — helps us celebrate Sarah’s life, her resilience, her laughter, and her lasting impact on everyone who knew her.
