Sara J. Barry, 70 passed away Feb. 28, 2018 in Lake Havasu City.

She was a loving wife to Glenn Charles Barry Jr. (Bear). They shared
22 wonderful years together.

Born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of Albert
Andersen and Edith Merritt. Sara retired from the Portsmouth Naval
Shipyard after 28 years of service. She loved her job and her many
long-term friendships.

Sara enjoyed doing many DIY projects. She took on anything and had
extreme talent with amazing follow-through. She also loved being
outside landscaping her yard (AKA raking rocks). She also enjoyed
spoiling her little dogs.

Sara will be remembered for her beautiful, big-dimpled smile; she
smiled all the time. Also memorable were her long hugs that turned
into a massage that left the recipient melting in her arms. She also
will be remembered for her unconditional love, the song in her heart
and the skip in her step. Sara was pure human kindness and will be
very missed.

Survivors include her husband Glenn Barry; daughter Lisa Roberts
(Dennis) of Lake Havasu City; son Aaron Hess (Dan) of Vallejo,
California; sisters Karen Andersen, Eliot, Maine, Laura Webber, Eliot,
Maine, Heidi Spicer of Providence, Rhode Island; grandchildren Kyle
Roberts, Boston, Hailey Roberts, Temecula, California, Greyson Hess,
Vallejo, California and fur babies Tinker and Belle.

Sara had a lot of extended family and friends that were very important
to her as well.

Sara was preceded in death by her parents and brother Albert.

A special thank you is extended to very special people: Missy Colby,
Karen Caporle, Carlena Ashley, Victoria Carranza, Sandra Schulz-Ellis
and Mirta Kaperonis. All are our angels on Earth.
