Sarah then returned to Delaware and married her high school sweetheart, Dwayne. Sarah serves as an elder at Limestone Presbyterian Church, in Wilmington, the church she has attended since her youth. Through her work with the Mission Committee, she travels on mission trips, manages the annual Christmas alternative-gift-market fundraiser, and hosts homeless families on behalf of Family Promise of Northern New Castle County.
