In loving memory of Sarah Finegan who sadly passed away on 26th October 2025.
Sarah Finegan, born on 9th February 1961, was a woman whose loving heart, compassionate spirit, patience, and quick wit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She carried a warmth that made others feel seen, heard, and cared for, and her humour brought light even to the most ordinary days.
Above all, Sarah was a devoted mother to her children, Harry and Alice, whom she cherished deeply. She was immensely proud to be a grandmother to Arlo and Freyja, who would have embraced this role with the same tenderness and joy that defined her life. Sarah was also a beloved daughter, sister, aunty a wonderful friend to many. Her friendships were marked by laughter, patience, and an open-hearted kindness and warmth that made people feel truly valued.
Her presence was a constant source of strength and comfort to her family and friends, and her absence leaves a space that cannot be filled. Though she is no longer with us, Sarah’s compassion, her warmth, her patience, and the joy she brought into the world will continue to live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

  • I echo that. We spent so much time together when the children were babies, toddlers and school children. Such fun on our caravan and Butlins holidays. Many Sunday lunches, birthday and Christmas parties dancing to Wham and Madonna. Great times and precious memories, Sarah you were a huge loved part of our lives xxx
