Mrs. Fenello was an active member of the former St. Anthony’s Church where she volunteered at the annual Lawn Fete, taught Religious Ed., active with the Altar & Rosary Society and when the churches merged to form Ascension Parish, she volunteered on the bereavement committee. Sarah attended RIT to study art which allowed her talents in artistry, printing, photography, floral arrangements, seamstress and dress maker flourish. She was avid doll collector and participated in numerous craft shows throughout the area including the annual Letchworth Craft Show. She was involved in many community activities from the St. Joe’s Color Guard, Board of Elections, Batavia Garden Club, Holiday Tour of Homes and organizing her class reunions. Amongst all her activities Sarah worked for many years for Attorney’s Nick & Frank Zinni, Bob Harris Realty and Senior Center Manager in Oakfield, LeRoy and East Bethany. Sarah’s true love was family and friends and will be remembered for her beautiful smile that would brighten the room as she walked in.
Sarah’s family wishes to share on of her favorite sayings:
“Life is like a roll of toilet paper
The closer you get to the end, the
Faster it goes, don’t wait,
Do it now.”
