Sarah was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 68 years, Sterling Edward Mack. The two shared a life together for over 70 years and were a beautiful couple.

Sarah will be lovingly remembered as the matriarch of the family. Sarah was a selfless, hard working woman who took care of those she cared for most. She loved spending time with her family. She was a wonderful cook and proud of her Italian heritage. Sarah was able to combine those passions to create meaningful traditions such as Cioppino on Christmas and pasta fritta on Sundays. Sarah was most happy when family and friends were around her table. She enjoyed bingo, going to the casino and drawing.

Sarah was a beautician for 75 years; working as both an owner and stylist in Wilson and Easton.
