Sarah’s Story
Sarah Turpin was a loving daughter, granddaughter, friend, sister, partner, wife, teacher, and mom. Quick witted, funny, and bright, she sparkled with every step.
On a Tuesday Sarah was diagnosed with stage 4 Choriocarcinoma, a very rare, very aggressive Cancer. That Friday she passed at the age of 32. Sarah and Peter’s three amazing children were all under the age of three when she died. Sarah had great dreams for her children to grow, thrive and become great citizens of the world. She wanted her children to be nurtured by the best possible people and have access to opportunities that encourage physical, creative and cognitive skill development. Raising healthy, secure, caring and active children was her highest priority.
Sarah Turpin was taken from her family far, far too early and in an effort to help continue the grand plan she had for her three phenomenal children to have a healthy, secure, caring and active upbringings, a group of five local artists have put out a line of Holiday Greeting Cards.

I knew Sarah as a young child when she attended the school I worked at. She was such a lovely child so I’m not surprised she grew into a wonderful, loving adult. My heart aches for husband and children and Anne Marie and Chris….. I have the fortunate opportunity to work with Chris and Anne Marie. Rest easy Sarah

My husband and I own and operate Skinner’s DJ & VJ Service in Bryant’s Cove. We would like to offer our services free of charge for any future benefits in Sara’s memory. She was a high school classmate of mine. We do video dj’ing and can air any slideshows or memorials that people have created for Sara. Even if a benefit is not planned for the near future, we also do interactive kids parties! And I know those three little ones have many birthdays in their futures. Please contact us if you’re in need of any of these services. It would be an honour to do a benefit, or host a birthday party for Sara’s children. You can find us on FB under Skinner’s DJ & VJ Service, or call 589 4073. Thank you.

I only heard of this tragic loss today. My heart breaks for Sarah and her young family. I am fighting back tears at my desk and thankful I do not have customers at the moment. I’ll share this fundraiser with friends and family out West and have already made an appointment to donate blood. I am a regular but will be doing this next visit in memory of her.
Sarah’s family is in my thoughts, my deepest of sympathies at such a painful time.
