SARAH JANE SANTI
December 9, 1974 – July 9, 2022
Sarah Jane Santi (née Tucker), of Burlington, passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington, Ontario on Saturday, July 9, 2022 with her mother by her side. After a long struggle with various health issues, she was taken from us too early at the age of 47. She is now free of pain and suffering.
Sarah is survived by her husband, Paul and children Layla and Gabriel. She will be dearly missed by her mother Sue and step father Lawrence, father Howard “Tom” (Judith), sister Rebecca, brother James (Brooklyn) and niece Peyton, and many close friends who visited and supported her. Lovingly remembered by the extended Santi family, father in law Angelo, in-laws Mauro (Gail), Luca (Adrienne) and Laura (Brad) and many relatives in the United Kingdom.
A visitation will be held at Smith’s Funeral Home, 485 Brant Street, Burlington, Ontario on Saturday, July 16, 2022 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. There will not be a funeral service and interment has not been determined.
The family extends a heartfelt thanks to all the doctors, nurses, technicians and care staff at Joseph Brant Hospital for the excellent care they provided during Sarah’s stay. For those who wish, donations in Sarah’s honour to the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation (https://jbhfoundation.ca) would be appreciated by the family.
In Memoriam
Sarah was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK. Two years later her sister Rebecca was born. In early life, they travelled with their parents to America, Canada, Saudi Arabia and back to Canada, where her brother James was born. During that time, she enjoyed many family adventures to famous places and camping. Sarah attended and graduated from St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School in Oakville, Ontario, and later graduated from Western University in London Ontario with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies (Hons.) degree.
Following a career in marketing, she married and raised two adorable children, Layla and Gabriel. These were the loves of her life and she spent many hours with them. Sarah loved fashion and the outdoors, including hiking with her children on the trails of Niagara, despite her fear of spiders, snakes, and centipedes. She loved spending time with the family and playing board games. She was a fierce opponent in Scrabble.
She loved animals especially her dogs Henckel, Charlie, and Jazz. Her creative outlets were writing and taking photographs where she displayed a good eye for composition. Sarah also loved listening to music, and especially her famous 80s playlist.
We’ll miss her quirky sense of humour, kind smile, and endearing hugs. We cherish the wonderful times we had together. We will always love and remember her.
Though her smile Is gone forever,
and her hand we cannot touch,
we shall never lose sweet memories
of the one we loved so much.
