Sara Brunnegraff Sommer

Sara Brunnegraff Sommer, born on April 7, 1939 in Decatur, IN died on August 4, 2023 in Jacksonville, FL.

Sara grew up in Decatur where she graduated from Decatur High School in 1957.  Sara furthered her education at Miami University of Ohio with a degree in elementary education then proceeded to teach in Decatur, Dayton, OH and Woodland, CA.

In 1961, Sara married Harold Sommer, also of Decatur, and set off for a life full of adventure and travels that took them all around the world. Sara and Hal settled in Indiana, Pennsylvania where they raised their 3 children, Lucinda, Kris and Elizabeth. Sara gave back to her community by becoming involved in Girl Scouting and ultimately became a Talus
Rock Council Field Director. After many cold winters in PA, Sara and Hal moved south to the St Augustine area of north Florida where they enjoyed endless summer days together.

Sara loved gardening, ballroom dancing, and leisure car rides. But one of the most important things to her was keeping in touch with friends and family, which included the annual “Brunnegraff Bash”.

Sara is survived by her husband and children. She will certainly be remembered as a kind and loving person that made the world a better place! Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life Memorial Service, September 16, 10:00 a.m. at Zwick and Jahn Funeral Home, Decatur, IN followed by refreshments, visiting and sharing of memories.
