They spent nearly 30 years by each others side raising Daniel and Victoria.
She loved sports of all kinds, especially hockey. Sara loved to travel, her favorite destination was the Caribbean. Making memories with her husband and children Daniel and Victoria Pease, spending all day on the beach listening to Jimmy Buffett and sipping pina coladas.
She was extremely passionate about her family which is a large one with many that aren’t even blood, but family through common Swedish heritage and love. She was endlessly generous with how she would volunteer for anything to help anyone out; her oven was always warm with the next thing she was cooking to feed others. Her cooking was a very important thing to her. Many recipes were passed down to her, it was a sure-fire way to everyone’s heart with the fantastic meals she produced for friends and family.
She took care of everyone in her life so effortlessly and with such grace that can only be acquired through a lifetime of generosity and care.
She is survived by her parents, Nils and Judith Sjulander, husband Sanford Pease, son Daniel Pease, daughter Victoria Pease, her brother Jon and his wife Gigi and their three children Lars, Ingrid, and Gretchen, her brother David and his wife Eryn and son Mark, her sister-in-law Pamela, and her husband Paul, and sister-in-law Belinda.
