Manhattan

Sarah Ann Richards, born Sarah Ann Churchill to John and Emily Churchill, was born in Grayville, Illinois, and passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.

Sarah was a devoted wife to her husband, Mark Richards, the best mom, and a loving grandmother who cherished her grandchildren more than anything in the world. Sarah was a hardworking woman with a big heart. She loved playing bingo, enjoyed all kinds of food, and adored her little dog, Rosie. Above all, Sarah treasured the time she spent with her family and the memories they made together.

 Sarah will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew her. Her love, laughter, and warm spirit will live on in the hearts of her husband, family, and all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
