She grew up in Northport, a bay town on the north shore of Long Island, New York. Sara loved the outdoors, animals, and the water, and enjoyed water skiing, fishing, riding her horse, and playing football with her family. She graduated from Northport High School in the class of 1975.

Sara worked a side job until she enlisted in the United States Air Force on October 18, 1979. After being honorably discharged, she and sister, Madelyn, joined a small church where Sara met the two loves of her life, Jesus Christ and her husband, Dan. Sara and Dan were united in marriage on May 7, 1983, and began their life of service to the Lord which included street evangelism, community outreach, establishing a church, working at a mission, and becoming ordained ministers. Throughout the years, they continued working for the Lord which was the underpinning for their life together.

Sara- love for flowers and gardening were witnessed everywhere she lived and in the many churches that she attended.
