Sarah Ann Feinstein, 21, of Bridgeton, New Jersey, died Saturday, December 21, 2002, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Although hospitalized for the last two weeks as a result of her cystic fibrosis, her death was unexpected.
Sarah was born in Bridgeton and had lived in Bridgeton all her life. She was the daughter of Samuel W. and Gloria (nee Shafer) Feinstein of Bridgeton.
A member of the Bridgeton High School Class of 1999, she had attended Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia, but had withdrawn because of her illness. Sarah received several scholarship offers and chose Hollins University because of her love of horses and horseback riding. She had been active in equestrian competitions at Southwind Stables on Lebanon Road. Most recently, she had pursued her studies through on-line courses at Baker College for Post-Graduate Studies.
During summers, she worked at the summer camp program at Woodland Country Day School. She had also been a campaign volunteer during elections in Bridgeton.
Sarah was a budding amateur astronomer and had created her own website to help others find their way around the sky.
From the time she was younger, Sarah was called upon as a community resource at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to counsel families with babies who were born with cystic fibrosis.
