Sarah Ann Ward, age 73, of Elkton, Maryland, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2025. She was born on August 2, 1951, in Chester, Pennsylvania, to the late William Farraday and Anna (née, Albertini) Farraday.
A longtime resident of Cecil County, Sarah devoted many years of her life employed at a marina in North East, Maryland, where her meticulous attention to detail and warm spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Sarah found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She had a passion for crocheting, often gifting handmade creations to loved ones, and she took great pride in tending to her garden, where her flowers flourished under her care. Although she often joked that cooking wasn’t her strongest talent, she cherished preparing meals and gathering her family around the table, making memories that will be treasured forever.
Above all, Sarah was devoted to her family. She loved her children and grandchildren unconditionally and considered time spent with them to be life’s greatest blessing. Her warmth, humor, and unwavering love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Sarah is survived by her loving children: Frederick Ward, Corrina Ward and her fiancé Kevin Whetzel, Jennifer Ward, Brenda Ward, and Paul Ward; daughter-in-law Rebecca Sewell; and her cherished grandchildren: Eric, Taylor, Andrew, Matthew, Nicole, Ethan, Logan, and Coco.
A celebration of Sarah’s life will be held at 6:00 PM on Friday, July 18, 2025, at R. T. Foard Funeral Home, 256 East Main Street, Elkton, Maryland. Family and friends are invited to gather beginning at 5:00 PM to share memories and support one another.
