She was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter Ernestine "Teeny" Loeffler, her husband Raymond Loeffler four brother and a sister and her son-in-law Robert Ellis.

Sarah was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 7, 1925 to George Smith and Sarah Lillian (Seitz) Smith. She was raised in Brooklyn and graduated from high school there.

Sarah met and fell in love with Raymond Loeffler. They were married at the Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn and they moved to the family ranch in Mason County near Hilda.
