Sarah Marie Duckstad

Sarah brought beauty to everything she touched -- her garden, home, art, and relationships. She loved silver jewelry, fringe, flowers, and peacocks, and mixed it all into an artistic personal style that blended Boho Chic with her Portland roots.

After attaining her degree in Graphic Design at MHCC, Sarah worked in the field until the birth of her lovely daughter Jenna. She loved Jenna with all her heart, and did everything she could to give her daughter her BEST life.

Sarah had a big heart full of compassion. She accepted all of us for who we are, didn’t judge, tolerated our weirdnesses -- and actually kind of loved us for them!

Like many artists, she struggled with self-doubt and depression. And like all of us, she had her demons. She fought them hard.

Sarah fought to live. And live she did, for 43 rich and gorgeous years, full of family, friends, love, and art. On June 8, 2021, Sarah left the world.

And although the world is a little darker without her, the good she did here will shine on forever.
