Obituary
Sarah Straathof passed away on August 28, 2022, at the age of 37 years, after a fierce battle with cancer for almost six years.
Sarah was born in Scarborough, Ontario, and raised in the small community of Cedar Valley.
Excelling at everything she did, Sarah graduated Valedictorian of her high school class and her independence brought her to Alberta to attend the University of Calgary as a young woman. A natural leader and nurturer, Sarah did it all – having a successful career as a financial planner before building an amazing family and home with Jeff. Sarah was the brightest light to all who knew her, she took charge of anything life put in front of her and did so with grace. She loved baking, hiking, camping, teaching, and being a mom. Sarah’s infectious smile would light up any room, she always took care of everyone around her, even into her final days.
Sarah is survived by her husband Jeff; her children Wesley James, Anna Grace, and Emily Rose; her parents Jim and Kim Miller; her brothers Mark and Ben Miller, and many, many dear friends.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. James Catholic Church on September 2, 2022, at 11:00 am.
The family wishes to thank all the incredible doctors, nurses, and medical staff of Unit 47 at the Foothills Medical Centre who helped Sarah through her journey to her final resting place.
The family wishes to thank all who like to send their condolences but request in lieu of flowers a donation to Compassion House be made in Sarah’s memory.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Sarah Anne Straathof February 14 1985 August 28 2022 (age 37)..
