Sarah Ann Ottens was the first child of Myra Schaut and Robert William Ottens. She was born February 9, 1953, in Morrison, Illinois, where her family of Dutch lineage was prominent and civic-minded. Her father was Manager of Accounting at the Morrison General Electric Plant, one of the area's largest employers, and her grandfather was a county official.
At Morrison High School, Sarah was involved in drama, the school newspaper, a radio station and the yearbook. After graduation, she attended St. Francis School of Nursing in Peoria, Illinois, before transferring to the University of Iowa, where she was conscientious and serious about her nursing studies.
