While attending a National Tall Club convention in San Francisco, Sarah met her future husband Leland Johnston. Sarah moved to Los Angeles and married Lee in 1955. The couple relocated to Stockton in 1957 when Lee's employer, Diamond Walnut, moved their operations here from So. Cal. Along with being a homemaker and raising two sons, Sarah had many years of service at the Bank of Stockton and Delta College. After retirement, the family relocated to Valley Springs for 20+ years before returning to Stockton in 2015. Sarah was greatly loved by her family and will be missed by all those who knew her well.
