Sarah Ellen Tedford, 54, died January 27, 2021 at the University Of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, following a short battle with a brain tumor. She was born in Lowell, MA, the daughter of James R. Tedford and Patricia (Jasper) Tedford. She grew up in Athol MA, attending local schools through grade 8, and attending Wyonegonic Camps in Denmark, ME for several summers. Sarah was a 4year graduate of The Northfield Mount Hermon School, Northfield MA, in 1983. In 1987 she earned a Bachelor's Degree from Tufts University in Medford, MA. Sarah loved hiking and all outdoor activities, contra dancing, traveling, and life in general. Her travels took her across the USA many times and to many different countries. Before beginning her travels, she lived at times in Newton, Stoughton and Sharon MA; also in Seattle, more recently. Her various positions included: Social Worker for state of MA, Customer Service for Verizon, and an association with Rhys Thomas Institute of Energy Medicine where she was a student, then Teaching Assistant, and most recently, Virtual Assistant (a job she performed from all over the world). Sarah was predeceased by cousins Barbara Bowen and Chase Miceli, aunt Eileen Jasper, uncle Glenn Tedford, and her grandparents. She is survived by her parents, brother James Jr., uncle John Jasper, aunts Diane McLaughlin, Ellen Tedford, Jane Jasper; also many cousins and their growing families. Sarah is also survived by beloved friends Martin Meo and Janice Lichtman, who she considered 'her family'. Sarah was a registered organ donor. Thus, "Sight Life" of Seattle has harvested her corneas, and the University of Washington BRaIN Laboratory will use her brain tissue research. There are no services planned at this time.
