Sarah’s passion for people and caring for them and their loved ones really showed in her work
as a Nurse Practitioner while employed at CHI Health in Omaha. Sarah’s credo is best
summarized by this quote: "People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you
said, but they will always remember how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou Sarah
was a loving wife, caring mother, thoughtful daughter and sister. She will always be
