Sarah enjoyed quilting, gardening, camping and boating, and traveling when time allowed to southern Florida to visit family and Mobile to visit many of her childhood friends and family.
She is survived by her husband, Richard; a daughter, Marie Brombaugh of Des Moines, and a son, Brian Brombaugh of Clive; beloved pet, Critter; three brothers, Charles Cayton of Chickasaw, AL, Earl Cayton (Janie) of Orlando, FL, Leo "Chip' Reed of Mobile, AL, and sister, Donna Smith of Semmes, AL; three grandchildren, Cody Brombaugh of Ankeny, Alexis Brombaugh of Columbia, MO, and Brendon Brombaugh of Clive, and father-in-law, Robert Brombaugh (Jean) of Mt. Pleasant. She was preceded in death by all of her parents, two sisters, LoAnna Harrison and Lillian Cayton.
