BLUE HILL – On Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017, a tragic automobile accident took the life of Sara J. Wilson Wardamasky.
A devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, Sara will be deeply missed by all who knew her. A celebration of Sara’s life will be held at a later date.
The youngest of three children, Sara was born on July 2, 1963, to Ken and Sally Wilson. She grew up in Pearl River, N.Y., and received her high school diploma from The Center for Open Education in 1981, continuing on to Plattsburg, SUNY College, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in social work. Sara married Dave Wardamasky July 25, 1992; they were blessed with a daughter, Juliette Kenna. She fulfilled her dream by earning her master’s degree in social work from the University of Maine.
Sara lived her life with passion. We loved her laugh, her beautiful smile and clear-to-the-soul-eyes. She loved her family and friends genuinely; and was bountiful with hugs and “I love you” for all of us. She blessed us with her courage, kindness, and her wisdom. Frequently gifting heart rocks, feathers, crystals, jewelry and delicious food, she was generous beyond compare.
She was passionate about family, the elders she served, her community, nature, animals, rocks and crystals, singing, hiking, dancing, drumming, social justice, women’s rights, healthy living, protecting the environment and anything Native American. She was proud of her Cherokee heritage and enjoyed cultivating relationships with the Wabanaki and other Native American brothers and sisters here in Maine at powwow socials, water protector rallies and other Native American gatherings.
Sara is survived by her husband, Dave, daughter Juliette, mother, Sara (Sally) Wilson, of Blue Hill, sister Katherine (Kit) Valentino of Denville, N.J., brother David Wilson and sister-in-law Diane of Slate Hill, N.Y., and eight nieces, six nephews and many beloved friends.
A woman of radiance, Sara continues to be a magical, mystical spirit, ever expanding and evolving… waiting to greet us on the other side.
“May the longtime sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure, pure light that’s within you
Guide your way home.”
