This is her work bio, one which so perfectly catches the wonderfully funny and kind person she was.

Her story made the national news because her sister, Mary Wolfe, is a state legislator here in Iowa. Sarah and her sisters grew up in eastern Iowa. It is heartbreaking to lose such wonderful young women who have given so freely of themselves to so many.
Sarah had the most gorgeous twinkling eyes and beaming smile. It is hard to believe that such incandescence could be lost to the universe. Somewhere Sarah still shines on us.

She sounds like a wonderful person. I hope they find whoever did this quickly, and I hope you and all who loved her can find peace.

(15,532 posts)who leave this earth too soon and the scum gun humpers cost us taxpayer money sitting in prison for decades? (Well, some of them sit in prison - some just get set free to kill again.)
I'm so sorry.

(34,334 posts)A very good friend of mine was murdered last year (stabbed 30 times), so I know something about how you are feeling. It's a shock to lose somebody because of a sudden illness or accident, but when that person is wrenched out of your life because of a deliberate evil act of violence, it makes the pain so much greater. I hope they catch the creep who did this. It won't bring your friend back, but at least the perpetrator won't be able to do it again. The 2 men who murdered my friend are now in prison for the rest of their lives. It does help to have that closure and it's allowed me to think of my friend with laughter as well as tears.
Again, I am so very, very sorry. Your friends sounds like she was a very lovely human being.

The big border is Negley Avenue, but this block of Chislett could be view in either neighborhood.
