In Loving Memory
Voice for the Voiceless, Champion of Children, Warrior of Light. Sarah Michelle Johnson was born on July 3, 1982, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. From a young age, she had an innate sense of justice and a fierce desire to protect those who couldnt protect themselves. Sarah earned her Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Manitoba, then devoted her career to child welfare. For 18 years, she worked tirelessly to protect vulnerable children, often going above and beyond to ensure their safety. Her colleagues described her as relentless. Sarah also found time to foster six children over the years, adopting two of them. She turned her modest home into a sanctuary of love and stability. Sarah was diagnosed with MS in 2020 but continued working until her body wouldnt allow it. She passed away on November 8, 2024, at age 42.
