Sara was born on July 7, 1970 at the Kaukauna Hospital to Dennis and Phyllis (Polhman) Verhyen and she grew up in Appleton. She worked at Theda Care Medical Center in Appleton. On June 20, 1992 she was united in marriage to Jim Wallace, her only love, and together they raised two wonderful children. As a Mother she never missed an event of her children, nieces, and nephews. Those times will always be remembered. Sara had a heart of gold and always put everyone's needs before her own. She delighted in the simple things in life. As a wonderful wife, mother and daughter, providing for her family in the kitchen was her greatest joy. Sara was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church where she taught religious education for 13 years, joined this year by her daughter Nicole as her co-teacher. She planted the seed of God's word and hoped it would grow in everyone she met. Sara's positive attitude and wonderful outlook will be greatly missed.
