She was born October 4, 1947, to Harold Meeker and Nada Sinclair in Fullerton, California. Sara was a very adventurous little girl who loved her daddy. They lived in a beautiful home in a grove of oranges where she played hide-and-seek with her 3 older siblings, Gary, Pam, and Linda.
Sara attended Santa Ana High School and later moved to Vernal, Utah where she attended school and became a pharmacy tech. She was blessed with 5 beautiful children, Arley, Timmy, Natalie, Joey, and Melody. Along with her children she had two special young men she adopted, Carl Carter and Theron Denson. One of the brightest highlights of Saras life was being Nana and spending time with each one of her grandchildren. Sara had a contagious laugh, vivacious personality, and a kind heart that saw the best in everyone and never placed judgment upon anyone.
Nana Sara a combination of warmth, kindness, laughter and love. A woman who over looks all your faults, praises your every success and encourages all our dreams. Gage Schoenberger
