October 26, 2025 Sarah was the most fun person ever to work with. She had a response to everything. I have never met someone with as much energy as she had. I can't believe that cancer could beat her. I have not been in Pittsburgh for 10 years but I will never forget Sarah. October 25, 2025 Ted and Grace Plenderleith did not know Sara friends who are like family to Rich and Audrey Stoner (Sara's In-Laws) but we pray for Richard and his children and all of his family in their loss of Sara. May God and Jesus be with them always and especially at this difficult time! With deepest Sympathy Grace and Ted Plenderleith October 25, 2025 Our thoughts & prayers are with the Stoner & Crawford families & Sara's extended family during this difficult time. Sara was loved by everyone who knew her and definitely will have a place in Heaven with all the other Angels 😇 With Deepest Sympathy, Joann Murphy & Family October 25, 2025 I am honored that I was able to be a part of your life. When I think of you it will be of your infectious laughter, your genuine smile and happy times we spent together. You have been a light to this world and one that we will never forget. October 24, 2025 Vibrant is the most fitting word for Sara. Always lived life in color. A magnetic personality with effortless beauty and charm I cherish our carpool karaoke days from Magee. Indelible marks never wash away. October 24, 2025 Our thoughts & prayers are with the Stoner and Crawford families & Sara's extended family during this difficult time. With Deepest Sympathy, Joann Murphy & Family October 23, 2025 Sara welcomed me into her family with open arms. I remember her telling me that she always wanted a sister. I can't help but feel that I got the better end of that deal. That girl is one of the strongest people I have ever met. She had a heart of gold and an unforgettable sense of humor. She earned every feather on her big beautiful wings and deserved more than this world had to offer. She left an imprint on so many hearts and will live on through her lasting memories. October 23, 2025 I was lucky enough to work with Sara at Magee. She was so funny and we would have so much fun together! She made the best pistachio cake! Heaven gained an angel for sure!! She will be missed. As I sit here thinking about her, I cannot help but smile and cry at the same time. Prayers and peace for her family - Jill Valentich October 23, 2025 Sara you and pea have changed my life in so many ways you cannot imagine in fourth grade I didn't even wanna live then I met you and your daughter and really changed my life I smiled for the first time in forever and went to school and became a better person thank you for everything you gave me a second chance at life from Melina Correa October 23, 2025 Sara was my youngest sister's only daughter and my beloved niece. She was a lovely person, funny, always smiling and hard working. I am so proud and happy that she was in my life and heartbroken that her life was cut so short...she definitely deserved better. She was also one of the bravest people I have ever known, fighting this ugly disease like a true warrior and doing everything she could so she could have more time to spend with her children and family. I don't understand and never will understand why some of the best people have their lives cut short but I do know that in her short 42 years here she touched so many people's lives, always with a smile and a kind heart. She will be missed every single day and her passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. You were the best of the best Sara. October 23, 2025 Sara you always made me laugh and smile no matter what kind of day I was having. You will be missed by family and friends. I'm proud to say that I got to spend 4yrs with you. October 23, 2025 Sara trained me at Magee to the front HUC position back in 2009. She was always so crazy & fun! She will be truly missed. Heaven gained a real angel! -Christine Joy October 22, 2025 My name is MJ, Mary Jo Krasnevich. I worked with Sara in Jefferson Hospital's WAIC unit. She had me wearing ankle weights at work daily, just to keep me going strong! She was a true motivator & I teased her regularly about misssing her calling! She was one tough cookie who held co-workers accountable for their actions yet was a melting pot of chocolate when telling stories of her children. I could see beneath that tough acting exterior she had a heart of gold. I've kept a special place for her in my heart, especially upon learning of her health issues. No words can ease your loss but I sincerely pray that her light continues to shine in your family. October 22, 2025 I was lucky enough to work with Sara at two different hospitals. I knew it was going to be a good day when I saw her name on the schedule. She was a hard worker and brought sooo much laughter to us all. I am honored to have worked with her and call her my friend. She will be very missed. October 22, 2025 Taking care of Sara was such a blessing. She is so lucky to have you all in her lives. October 22, 2025 Sara was my younger cousin by just one month. It's so hard to accept that she has passed on. She was kind and accepting of everyone. She leaves behind so many broken hearts, as she was so special. Please send love to her mother Linda; her father Tom; her brother Ian; her husband Rich; her son Luca; her daughter Penelope; and so many of her other family and friends. I haven't really been a believer in many years, but you better believe that I want nothing more than to she her again in heaven one day. Love always, Mark, Jen, Levon and Sofia Mislanovich October 22, 2025 Sara was so authentic and larger than life. She had the biggest heart and the brightest smile. She will be terribly missed and forever loved. Love to our newest angel... Aunt Paula and Uncle Don Levandoski October 22, 2025 Sara was so authentic and larger than life.
