Sarah Reichard Crichton, of Winter Park, Florida, left with the angels and was received into God’s loving arms on Thursday January 16, 2025.
Sally was born on September 9, 1926, in Greenville, Pennsylvania. Sally graduated from Greenville High School in 1944 and Thiel College in 1948, both in Greenville. Following her graduation from Thiel College, Sally accepted a position as an assistant to U.S. Senator Edward Martin (R.PA) and lived in Washington D.C. for several very exciting years. Sally then accepted a position in Columbus, Ohio, where she met Arthur Clark Crichton.
In 1958 Sally and Art married, and they were married for more than 61 years. In 1974 Sally and Art both accepted positions in Winter Park, Florida, a move they never regretted! Sally was the Office Manager and executive assistant to the Florida Conference President of the United Church of Christ for many years. Sally also owned and operated a successful travel agency that focused on tours to Isreal and other significant religious sites. Sally and Art moved to The Mayflower at Winter Park in 2016, a senior community that Art was instrumental in developing.
Sally was predeceased by her beloved parents, James Irvin and Echoe Egbert Reichard, her beloved husband Art, her beloved brother Harold E. (“Hal”) Reichard, her beloved step-granddaughter Nicole Cafarella Bernard and her beloved nephew Steven N. Crichton. Sally is survived by her beloved daughter Carolyn Crichton (Richard) Cafarella of Winter Park Florida, her beloved sister-in-law Gladys Reichard, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania, her beloved brother-in-law Merton James Crichton of Dayton, Ohio, her beloved step-grandson U.S.C.G. Chief Michael Cafarella (Ret.), of Port Orange, Florida, beloved nieces Lynne Reichard Walmer and Sharon Bond, and nephew Gregory Reichard and her very beloved Great-Grand Children: Ava (“Bird”), Chloe, Mia, Maddox, Asher, Ashton and Charlie Nicole. The family is grateful for the loving care Sally received from her beloved care-taker Patricia during her last years.
