Sarah Faith Groom was born on March 12th, 2001, and departed this earth on September 24th, 2025. Sarah's love for driving and traveling was reflected in the countless miles she accumulated on her vehicles. Her fondness for flowers and all shades of pink and burgundy was a defining characteristic. She was an avid reader and Harry Potter fan.
Sarah was a fiercely loyal friend, devoted to those she loved and quick to forgive the people she loved. Her innate sense of compassion compelled her to assist those in need. Although petite in stature, she made up for it with grit and stubbornness. One word to encapsulate her essence was feisty!
Sarah held a special place in her heart for children who have experienced trauma and are in foster care. She lent her voice to causes advocating for such children with a particular fondness for the Court Appointed Special Advocate Program (CASA). As a speaker at CASA events and participant in video productions, Sarah hoped to utilize her life experiences and insights to highlight the necessity for more individuals to foster, adopt and advocate.
We are deeply grieved by our loss of Sarah, but we are grateful she is in the arms of the Heavenly Father.
She leaves behind her mother, Donna Moore; brothers, Sterling Edwards (wife Madison), Michael Duncan, Johnny Duncan, and Dustin Moore; nieces, Dezirae, Izabella, and Aurora; nephew, Saxon; cousins, Brianna McDaniel (Amiyah and Alayah), Whitney Truitt (Elijah, Phoenix, and Ollie), and Corey Moss; Nana, Theresa Duncan Gunderman; and Aunt, Sarah Hatch (Jill Emery).
She leaves behind her adoptive family, her parents, Bruce and Xanthoula Groom; sisters, Natalie and Veronica Groom; brother, Nathan Groom; niece, Mariah Groom and nephew, Xander Groom; aunt and uncle, Katerina and Nickolaos Zafiriou; cousins, Savvas and Romanos Zafiriou; Aunt, Sylvie Evdoxiadis, uncle, Erastos Evdoxiadis; cousins, Celeste and Theo Evoxiadis; Aunts and uncles, Tony and Janet Groom, Stan and Monica Groom, and Tom and Rita Sebranek; as well as numerous other cousins.
She leaves behind her special friends, Court Appointed Special Advocate, Terry Gregory and former Family Service Worker, Crystal Bradley.
She is preceded in death by her aunt, Shonda Duncan; her Papa, John Duncan; maternal grandmother, Joanne Haywood; maternal grandparents, Bobbis and Mary Evdoxiadis; and paternal grandmother, Shirley Groom.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Bruce and Xanthoula, words cannot express the grief that I know that you both are feeling for the loss of Sarah. She was part of your life for a short amount of time, but you made a difference in her life. She was so fortunate to have had the two of you in her life. I pray that you find peace and comfort knowing that she is in a better place. Kathy
