Sarah Renee was more than a bright light, she was a stick of dynamite! She alway joked that big
things come in small packages, and that couldn’t have described her better. She was a fierce
human being who never let the up-hill challenges in life deter her. She had a strength that
couldn’t be described, but if you ever got to witness it for yourself, you were in awe.
Sarah had a passion for her relationship with the Lord that went beyond just the spiritual realm,
but truly impacted that way she lived her day to day life. She was incredibly attuned with the
resources God has given us on this earth to facilitate in health and wellness. She loved finding
new and alternative ways to treat every day things like common colds but also developed a
deep passion for finding integrative ways to fight cancer. She knew that life was not a simple
one-size-fits-all, and she became, to so many, a true wealth of knowledge and guidance. Her
goal was to beat her disease and to help others in the same boat, never fully realizing the extent
of which she has helped so many already. She knew her purpose was to share her experience
and vast array of knowledge and she did just that, at any chance she got.
Sweet Sarah was a beloved daughter, sister, wife and friend, but none of her roles were greater
than that of being a mother to her four precious children. She spent many years educating them
in their home, and providing them with an incredible foundation of which they will carry with
them for the rest of their lives. She fiercely loved her family, and found herself most at peace
when around water, basking in the warmth of the sun, and surrounded by them. Sarah was a
beacon of light, a friend to all, and lived her life with fervor and positivity. To quote her favorite
song by the late Tom Petty, “She’s a good girl, loves her Momma, loves Jesus, and America,
too”; that was our Sarah.
She is preceded in death by: sister, Amanda Marie Stouten; grandmother, (Nana) Carol Murray, and
grandfather, Ray Stouten.
She is survived by: husband, Jared Jennings; four children, Eli, Isaac, Ava and Alyssa; parents,
Kenny and Dawn Stouten; mother-in-law, Linda Jennings; brother-in-laws, Bryan (BillieAnn)
Jennings and Justin Jennings; grandparents, Robert Murray and Aggie Stouten, as well as the many
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved her dearly.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in her honor to any local animal
shelter, or to The Nature Conservancy.
