Sara Burns — UPDATED
Sara Elizabeth Burns, 44, Warsaw, died peacefully Feb. 14, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born Aug. 30, 1978, in Warsaw, to Tom and Jody Burns (Brumfield). She was a graduate of Warsaw Community High School and Indiana University.
Sara spent many years with Community Health Network in Indianapolis, most recently working as a patient access coordinator.
In addition to her parents, Sara leaves behind sisters, Kate (Paul) Nowak and Megan Burns; niece, Maddie Nowak; and nephews, Jacob and Sam Nowak; her precious Yorkie, Tucker; and several cat-nieces, all of Warsaw, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Sara was preceded in death by her treasured grandparents, Jack and Kate Burns, Nancy Brumfield and Eugene Brumfield, all of Warsaw.
Sara enjoyed attending concerts and sporting events with her little sister, whom she called Meegy. These included dozens of Avett Brothers and Brandi Carlile concerts and yearly attendance at the Indianapolis 500. Sara loved watching IU basketball games with her dad.
Sara loved beach vacations and would often joke about taking her pool noodle as her carry-on item. She was an avid reader, especially enjoying anything by Colleen Hoover. Many friends and family relied upon Sara for TV show and podcast recommendations and had many ongoing group texts for discussion. Some favorites include: “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Succession,” “Outlander,” “Yellowstone” and, of course, “Game of Thrones.”
Sara served many years as commissioner of her Bachelor and Bachelorette Fantasy League. She was the person many would call when needing help figuring out how to say something more tactfully. She provided round the clock IT services for her beloved Uncle Tim and was a friend to so many, including several life-long friendships.
Sara’s loyalty, candor, wisdom, sense of humor and compassion will be missed dearly by her family, friends and work colleagues.
