Sara was born in Baraboo, WI on June 2, 1983 to William and Cheri. She was the baby of the family and she took that role very seriously, using it to her advantage. (Especially at the request of her older sisters!) Sara graduated high school in 2001. She then started working in the call center at Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells, a job she truly enjoyed, and she made some long lasting friendships. After leaving the hotel business, she worked at a couple local daycare centers. Sara had such a passion for children and she was always the one they wanted to be with. She loved to play with them, whether it was playing school, different types of games, or even just rolling around on the ground.
Sara loved to laugh and make other people laugh with her, which was easy because even her smile was contagious. She loved to have a good time, no matter where that was, but she was always the happiest with her family. Some of the best memories were made in the summer going to the water park, the beach and the pool, always with a bag full of drinks and snacks. Our hearts are completely shattered and our lives will never be the same. We only take solace in knowing that she has been reunited with her sisters, something she ached for dearly.
Sara leaves behind her son, Liam LaVigne, whom she loved more than anything in the world. Her parents, Willie Buol and Cheri (Don) Padley. Her sister, Sheila (Craig) Philipp. Her treasured nieces, Alexis Blackford and Natalie Philipp, Brooklyn Fisher, Kaitlyn Kirchberg, and Amira Trautsch. Her boys, Brandon and Brady Fisher and Rickson Rosales, Justin and Casey Philipp, and Kody Kirchberg. Her bonus siblings, Michelle, Michael, Megan, and Matt. She also leaves behind her boyfriend, Joe Dahl and his 3 children, along with many dear aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Sara was preceded in death by two of her sisters, her best friends, Amy Fisher on March 24, 2021 and Tina Kirchberg on December 29, 2023. Maternal and paternal grandparents, her uncles Bob Milner and Clifford Buol, her aunts Dawn Rodgers and Debbie Saxton, and her cousins Dustin Buol and TJ Gardner.
Our family asks that you give us time, patience, and grace as we navigate this painful road without our girls. There will be a private service for the family. A celebration of Sara’s life will be held at a later date. We will miss you forever, Hauntie.

My heart is broken with heavy grief as our family experiences loosing our children. There is no “one” answer for how to cope with gut-wrenching grief. It comes & goes as fast as the wind blows & weighs heavy on the hearts of us left behind. Lord Jesus, I pray for comfort, peace & hope moving forward in this life. Help us to be a blessings to eachother as we remember Sara & all our loved ones that preceeded her in death. Our hope is in God’s promise of eternal life thru Christ Jesus that we shall one day reunite with our loved ones where angels dare to walk. They cannot return to us, but one day we shall rejoice when we see them again. God is faithful & understands what it’s like to lose a child. He is our strength when we are weak. May the Lord bless you & keep you. May He shine His light upon you & give you peace. What a beautiful blessing Sara brought to everyone around her! Plenty Much Love, Auntie Diana ❤️

One of the last times I saw you, we all went to Rivers Edge for the day, and had another fun day on the water. I am glad to have that memory.I know you are safe with your sisters. We love you and miss you.We are heartbroken to lose you.💔
