Sarah E. Smitherman graced this world with her presence on Eas- ter Sunday, April 19, 1992. From that day forward we knew she was a special gift, and her radiant smile and contagious laughter filled any room, and lightened the hearts of those around her. Her passion for life was shown through music, dancing, and a uniquely goofy personality one couldn't help but fall in love with.

Her life on earth though brief, accomplished much. She graduated from Reed High School with honors in 2010, where she participated in musicals and choir. She then began attending the University of Nevada, Reno where she was working towards a degree in Speech Communications. Her dream was to open a coffee shop with her mother.

She shared her enthusiasm for life, and faith in her savior Jesus Christ, in her travels, including trips to Washington, DC, New York,
Mexico, Central America, and Europe.

On December 16, 2011, Sarah was whisked away to heaven right before our eyes. Our Princess... Always smiling, always faithful, al- ways kind, always loving, always loved. Thank you for continuing to look over all of us with your wisdom, smile, passion, happiness, and guidance. We will think of you always and always be by your side, as you always have with us. We love you. A Princess on Earth; an An- gel in Heaven.

A Celebration of Life will be held Wednesday Decem- ber 21st at 4:00 pm at Sparks Christian Fellowship.
