Sara had a physically fit attitude and was an artist who loved nature. Her smile and sense of humor could lift you up and turn your worst days into the happiest. 

She loved conversation and debate and would chat your ear off just to hear your opinions over a topic. If you disagreed, she made sure you were confident about which side of the fence you stood on. 

She loved cooking for friends and family and sought only positivity, always seeing the beauty in everything. She believed in everyone and always gave to her siblings. She was a father-figure to them, always guiding, protecting, supporting, and teaching. Her loving personality will be missed.

Sara is survived by her mother Juanita Sanchez; brothers Arturo and Ricardo Olivares; sister Juanita Olivares; daughters Saphira and Jolene; and her many nieces and nephews. 

She may be gone from this world, but she’ll never be forgotten. The light she created will not extinguish or fade but will forever flourish through all our love we have for her.
