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.
