Sara DeMott Obituary

Sara Sue DeMott (Schiff)

In loving memory of Sara Sue DeMott, born November 9, 1945, in Sidney, Ohio, to Emma and Elmer Schiff, passed peacefully on October 20, 2024, in Mesa, Arizona, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and cherished memories. Sara was preceded in death by her brother, James Schiff.

Sara was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, and cherished sister. Through 55 blessed years with Vince, she embodied partnership and love. She shared an unbreakable bond with her identical twin sister, Sandra, one that brought a lifetime of laughter, friendship, and unforgettable memories for both Sara and Sandy Sue. As a mother to Michael and Dyan, she was a source of strength and warmth, guiding them with grace. Her children cherish the close relationships they had with their mother, recognizing it as one of life's greatest gifts. As Grandma to Cassara and Brooke, she cherished every moment, from making silly videos to creating fun family traditions. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those she loved most.

A dedicated parishioner of Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Tempe for over 40 years, Sara served her community with grace and commitment—in many positions over the years as a Eucharistic minister, choir member, prayer shawl ministry, lector, and volunteer money counter. Her faith was her guiding light, and she embraced her parish family wholeheartedly.

Sara graduated from the University Hospital School of Nursing in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1967. A lifelong caregiver, she dedicated over 40 years to nursing, finishing her career in hospice care. For Sara, nursing was more than a profession; it was an extension of her caring spirit.

Her family remembers her as the vibrant heart of their lives. She brought joy to everyone she met and left an enduring impact through her warmth and generosity. Sara's presence was a gift, and her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
