Sara (Torch) Tempel

Obituary

Passed on

Sara Tempel, soon to be Sara Torch, passed away unexpectedly in the early hours of February 12, 2025 in La Broquerie, Manitoba. To her family, she is now a shining star in the sky, watched over by the moon, embodying the love and light that she brought into their lives.

Sara was a spectacular woman – wild, carefree, and adventurous – who saw the good in everyone. She was a fierce defender of anyone who needed someone in their corner. She was passionate and talented, excelling at anything she tried, from art, design, sewing, and leatherworking to the outdoors, camping, hiking, and sailing. As much as she loved to be out in the world, she also loved to be at home, cooking, baking, gardening, building Lego sets, playing computer games, and being with Tyler and their dogs.

One of her greatest joys in life was children. She wanted nothing more than to start a family of her own. She cherished her niece, Sophie, and they could never be parted from the other’s side whenever they were together.

Sara loved the Lord above anything else, and though called later in life, she honoured Him daily with her kindness and shining optimism, spreading joy to all around.

Sara was born February 15, 2000 in Winnipeg, Manitoba under the sign Aquarius: independent, creative, and humanitarian, traits that Sara valued throughout her life. She was the youngest of three siblings. She attended MC College and graduated in 2019 with a diploma in fashion design. Her amazing talent flourished when she found a place to call home with her future husband, Tyler. There, he introduced her to leatherwork, which she took to immediately. With Tyler at her side and a place for her beauty and talent to thrive, Sara began her dream business – a small country rodeo boutique. Unbeknownst to her, her work and personality touched people across the country.

Sara is loved and mourned by Tyler, her soon to be husband and chosen person; parents, Bert and Sherri (Sean); siblings, Brittany (Derek) and Mathew (Nadisha); nieces, Sophie and Ivy; nephew, Rowan; and beloved dogs, Ruby, Sako, and Tikka. She will be dearly missed by countless friends and family. Sara is predeceased by her grandpa Leroy, who was waiting with open arms to bring her home to the stars.

A service to honour Sara’s life will be held on Saturday, March 1^st, 2025, at 2:00pm at St. Peter Lutheran Church (47 – Hwy 7 N) in Teulon, Manitoba. A luncheon will follow in the church basement. All who knew and loved Sara are welcome to attend.

Sara lived her life in vivid colour, her favourites being her signature turquoise and orange combo. Flowers are welcomed and appreciated.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Toba Centre for Children & Youth in Sara’s memory.
