Sarah Ann Michels, age 65, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, December 19, 2021, in Norwalk, CT. She is survived by her daughter, Haley Michels Strader, her son, Harlan Lynn Strader III, her son-in-law, William H.

Sarah was born in Summit, New Jersey to Ann and Herman Michels. She grew up in Short Hills, NJ and graduated from Skidmore College in 1978 with a B.A. in Sociology. Upon graduation Sarah joined Crain Communications in advertising sales at two of their flagship publications: “Pensions & Investments” and “City & State” where she achieved record results. In later years Sarah became a certified Yoga and Restorative Yoga Teacher and became a full-time building substitute teacher at Coleytown Middle School in Westport, CT.
Sarah’s spirituality and her religious beliefs were very important to her.
Sarah approached and lived her life with a sense of joy and compassion for all living creatures. She believed each day was a blessing and her many friends are testament to that. Above all else she adored her children and often said that raising her two children was the best thing she ever did with her life. Her smile, pure heart, and joyful presence will be missed by all who knew her.
