September 18, 2000 The LION’s EYE Page? Remembering Sarah: One of our own Sarah Stover was my best friend. Sarah was my strength and sanctuary, but I wasn’t alone. She was the strength for many others as well. Many people on the Delco campus knew Sarah, and a select few knew her well. She was a good student, a caring humanitarian and a devoted friend. Sarah began her life in the small town of Marcus Hook. From there, the Stover family moved to their current residence in Boothwyn. Throughout elementary school and middle school, Sarah attended Holy Savior St. John Fisher Catholic School. While attending Holy Savior, Sarah made friends and lost friends, but she always held them in her heart. At the beginning of her freshman year of high school, Sarah transferred to Garnet Valley High School. There, she became the person we all knew her to be. During her years at Garnet Valley she gathered a select group of friends. Some were known to be her soul-friends. I had the honor of being one of them. Sarah saved me from conforming to the main- stream of society so many others seem to follow. She allowed me to be myself; in fact, she insisted on it. Without nen my move from Ohio to Philadelphia would have molded me into a recluse, afraid of everything. Sarah taught me to smile, to laugh, to love and to live. She was my shining star when the clouds of life would begin to cloud over me. I know I'm not the only one Sarah had this effect on. When college came, Sarah was so excited to go to Penn State. She lectured me for being a traitor because I'm a OSU Buckeye fan. Although during high school Sarah was known for carrying an anarchy sign around, she truly was a patriot — in her own ways. She even tried to join the Army but didn’t make the cut because of a hearing problem. Her “selective hearing” problem I called it. And Penn State? Well, you can thank Sarah for our fall break. She did her part to get that for all students. She loved Philadelphia more than anyone I know. Everyday she discovered something else hid- den in a dark alley, which made her fall in love with the city even more. Never would she part ° from her Philadelphia. The city was her center; it had her heart and Above, Sarah Stover with her soul friends during a fun night together. Sarah loved to show her Penn State pride. At left, Sarah with friends Aimee and Kirstin, decked out in their gothic clothes. Sarah loved nature. She and her family often went camping in the Poconos. In high school she often went to parks and took photographs. Her favorite day was clouded, gray and rainy. And of course, her favorite holiday was Halloween, when all the mysteries are uncovered. She almost enjoyed Christmas as much. She loved to buy gifts for everyone, even those she wasn’t that close to. And if she missed your reaction to her gift, she would be upset. Sarah was such an extraordinary person, words will never do her justice. Just know Penn Sate, she loved you all even if she didn’t know you. That’ s just the kind of person she was. And that is how I'll always remember her. A memorial service is in the works for those of you who could not attend the funeral, or would just like to say a few words about her. A scholar- soul. I always loved to hear her argue with people ship in honor of Sarah is also in the making. from out of town if they had said anything bad Check with the next issue of The Lion’s Eye for about the city. updates.
