Sarah died at the home of William Abbott, while on a religious visit to Cork, Ireland.

"Sarah Worrall, a public Friend from Chester County, Pennsylvania, America, died at the house of Wm Abbott's in Cork 28th 2nd mo 1755. She came over in company with Elizabeth Ashbridge, to visit this nation: her illness she bore with much patience and resignation of mind, and we believe she has laid down her head in peace and full assurance of everlasting rest and joy in the Lord, being heard to say a little before her departure 'the time is now come, come Lord Jesus, receive my spirit'.
Her corpse was carried from Friend's Meeting House in that city [Cork], after a said meeting, to Friend's Burying Ground, and there decently interred."
