Sara Diane Kothmann was born April 16, 1970, in San Antonio, TX. At two weeks of age, she was adopted through the Methodist Mission Home in San Antonio and joined her new family living in Seymour, TX. The family moved to College Station, TX in June, 1970 and Sara lived in College Station the rest of her life.
Sara was baptized in the United Methodist Church at Seymour, TX in May, 1970, and was confirmed with her 6th grade confirmation class at A&M UMC in College Station in 1982. She remained a member of A&M UMC the rest of her life.
Growing up, Sara was very active in Girl Scouts, earning her Silver Award and most of the Gold Award. She enjoyed Girls’ Softball and spending time with her many friends. In High School, she was especially proud of the years she spent in Choir. She graduated from A&M Consolidated High School in 1988 and from the Blinn LVN Program in 1992. She worked mostly in local nursing homes during her career, although the favorite part of her career was the several years she spent working with Dr. David Pope in his family medicine practice and the Residency Program he founded. A type-1 diabetic herself since the age of 10, Sara was especially helpful with and loved by the geriatric diabetic patients in her care. Sara was an enthusiastic Dallas Cowboy fan as well as Aggie fan. She enjoyed being outdoors, loved her rose garden, and her pets.
Sara was especially close to her brother, Kevin, and they were best friends which was supportive for both of them. She loved her children and enjoyed telling of their accomplishments and joys. Sara did thoughtful things that brought much joy to her family and friends.
