Sarah Ann Matsick

On the evening of February 4th, 2022, Jesus and Michael came to Sarah's bedside, took her hand and said "come home".  Sarah passed away from a septic infection due to aspiration that developed into pneumonia.  Her work here on this Earth was complete.

Sarah was a precious gift delivered to Michael and Kathleen (Sullivan) Matsick on May 10th, 1973.  We soon found out our special treasure had a lot of hurdles that we would have to overcome in the years ahead.  She truly was an angel unaware.  Sarah has touched so many lives since her arrival.  She had showed us what has meaning and what does not.  What has importance, and what has no importance at all.  Sarah had such a beautiful smile and she would give it to anyone that stopped to talk to her, it was her way of saying "hello".

She was very loving and would always reach out to hold your hand.  Just her touch made your day go better.  Having Sarah in our lives definitely made all of us better people just by being around her.  Sarah enjoyed music of any kind, especially Disney, car rides. shopping, and long walks with mom.

Survivors include Sarah's mom Kathleen Ann (Sullivan) Matsick, her brother Brandon Michael Matsick, her sister and brother-in-law Jason Michael and Amy Michelle (Matsick) Biesel, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.  Sarah was preceded in death by her father Michael Matsick, paternal grandparents Thomas and Ann Matsick, maternal grandparents David and Jermain Sullivan, her Aunt Barb (Matsick) Gastineau, Aunt Patty (Woller) Sullivan, and her cousins Tina, Christine and Danny.

To my daughter, Sarah: I love you more than I could ever tell you.  No words could ever paint that picture, it's too deep, too high and too wide to express.  You were so special to me.  Sarah, you have added so much life, love and happiness to myself and your dad, sister and brother.  You gave me the chance to see life through different eyes.  I thank God for sending you to us.  What life lessons you taught all of us.  And now, may you find peace and comfort in the arms of Jesus and your dad, until we are all together again.

The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at Holy Name Catholic Church, Wausau.  Rev. Samuel Martin will preside.  Burial will be in St. Paul Cemetery, Mosinee.  Visitation will be on Tuesday from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m. at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau and again on Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. until time of services at the church.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to Circle of Love directors Micki and Todd Duir and Teri and Sharon Pooch, as well as your staff. for the love, support and care you have given Sarah over the years.  She could not have been in better hands than she was in your home, and we consider you to be her extended family.  You are simply the best.  We would also like to thank the Marshfield Medical Center doctors, nurses and staff, including but not limited to Ethan, Brennan, Nai, Ryu, Pam and Rachel.
