She graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in 1970 and attended college at the University of Delaware, where she met her husband-to-be, Timothy Reith. Sarah and Tim married in 1974 and recently celebrated 40 years together. Sarah enjoyed the role of motherhood and homemaker while she continued her career as an RN. Her interests included her family, cooking, sewing, shopping and taking care of her special dog, Money, a retired greyhound rescue. During the last few years, Sarah enjoyed spending time and decorating their second home in Venice, Fla. She loved to cook and for a time developed a business as a Personal Chef.
