Sarah was born on July 18, 1938, in Magrath, Alberta, to George and Sarah (Kleinsasser) Waldner.  While she was young, the family moved to Birch Creek Colony, and then settled at Sage Creek Colony.  She married on May 31, 1964, to her loving husband Peter "Speedy" Kleinsasser, and they were married for 47 years.  The couple had two children.

Sarah was a kindergarten teacher for many years, and also served the colony in various other jobs.  She was a very well-liked person who was always kind to everyone.  She wasn't a person of many words, but loved to sing hymns, read, knit, and babysit grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Sarah always had a smile for anyone she saw.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Peter "Speedy" Kleinsasser; parents, George and Sarah Waldner; sister, Annie Waldner; and brothers, George, Paul, Martin, and Leonard Waldner.

Sarah is survived by her children, Linda (Joseph) Waldner and Leonard (Rebecca) Kleinsasser, all of Sage Creek Colony; eleven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother, Jacob (Mary) Waldner of Birch Creek Colony; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Sarah's family would like to express a special thanks to the doctors and staff at Logan Health in Chester.
