Sara was the younger of the two children of Lois (Bynon) and Ivor Neal Stewart. The Stewart family spent many wonderful summers at the cabin Neal built at Lake of the Woods (located between Klamath Falls and Medford, Oregon). In 1952, following the death of her father, Sara and her mother moved from K-Falls to Honolulu, Hawaii. Sara was enrolled in Punahou School and her mother began working for the Honolulu Advertiser.
Sara was graduated from Punahou in 1954 and from Colby College in Waterville, Maine in 1958. She married in Honolulu in 1960. The couple returned to New York where he attended graduate school and she went to work as an editor for Good Housekeeping magazine. After their first child was born in New York, they moved to Honolulu where the remaining two children were born.
After Sara's marriage ended, she and her children joined her mother in Waimea on Hawaii's Big Island where Lois had take a job as the Public Relations Director for the Parker Ranch. Sara returned to school, this time in Oregon, and upon earning her Teaching Certification, she moved with her children to Bend, Oregon where she began teaching English and Journalism at Bend High. In the 1970s, to be closer to her brother and his family, she took a teaching job at Eureka High School in California. After five years, Sara moved her family back to Bend where she settled into a neighborhood she adored for over 35 years. At the same time she joined the inaugural teaching staff of Bend's new Mountain View High School where she taught for 15 years until her retirement in 1994.
Sara was a wonderful and fun mother who provided her children with lots of adventures including many summers spent in Waimea with her mother "Titi" (one of the kids couldn't pronounce the usual "Tutu" for their grandmother) and one special Christmas spent on the Yucatan, Peninsula. The family enjoyed many excursions around Central Oregon, especially the kids, learning to drive in the desert, cutting their Christmas Trees in the snowy forest, catching crawdads and swimming at Tumalo State Park and picnicking along the Metolius River.
In retirement, Sara spent many years as a volunteer with Trinity Episcopal Church and Central Oregon Art Association where she was very active in helping transform the Rademacher House into an art gallery. She enjoyed learning Italian, traveling, reading, watercolor painting, cooking, entertaining and spending time with her friends and family. She moved to Salem in 2015 to be closer to family.
