Sara Beth Kamin
March 10, 1951 to October 30, 2026
Sara entered Heaven to be with our Lord on October 30, 2026. She was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Dorothy Ziesmer, and her son, Seth.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, David; her sister, Sue Trinacty; her daughter, Heather; her son-in-law, William Hagel; and her nephews, Matt, Brent, and Chris Trinacty and their families. She also leaves behind numerous cherished friends and extended family members across the country.
Sara was born and raised in Monroe, Michigan, and graduated from Dundee High School. During her school years, she was active in 4-H and the band, where she played the flute. She married her life partner, David, in 1975 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Together they welcomed two children, Heather and Seth. In 1985, the family moved to Arizona, where Sara remained until her passing in Flagstaff.
Sara was deeply loved and devoted her life to serving others. She was actively involved in her church throughout her life, most recently at Trinity Heights United Methodist Church in Flagstaff. She participated in the women’s Bible study and the Prayer Shawl Ministry, and for many years coordinated the church’s Climb to Conquer Cancer team.
Sara’s faith was the foundation of her life. She spoke often of Heaven and spent countless hours studying Scripture and discussing the joy of one day being welcomed into the presence of the Lord.
She treasured her friendships and never met a stranger. Generous, thoughtful, and kind, Sara had a gift for making others feel valued and loved. She also adored the many family pets she cared for over the years, and her dog Pepper held a particularly special place in her heart. Sara’s absence will be felt deeply by all whose lives she touched.
The family wishes to express its deepest appreciation to the many friends and relatives who reached out, visited, and offered support during Sara’s final years, as well as to the caregivers who compassionately cared for both Sara and her family.
Sara donated her body to Research for Life. A celebration of life will be held at Trinity Heights United Methodist Church in Flagstaff after the return of her remains. Service details will be announced once arrangements have been finalized.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or to the Prayer Shawl Ministry at Trinity Heights United Methodist Church in Flagstaff.
