Sara Eaton-White, 41, of Townsend, MA passed away peacefully at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, on Thursday, November 28, 2019, surrounded by the love of her family.

She graduated from Bishop Hoban High School in Wilkes-Barre, PA before moving on to Regis College and UMASS Boston earning her Bachelor’s degree in nursing. Sara dedicated her career to caring for the pediatric burn patients at Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Boston. Sara took on many leadership roles during her career and ultimately became Nurse Manager on the Surgical Specialty Unit. Sara was an avid skier and a devoted Phish fan. Her calm and gentle soul reached far and wide. Her laugh generated happiness and her presence gave a sense of assurance that you were cared for. She was a loving wife, a caring daughter, a dedicated sister, a doting Aunt, a kind niece and an endearing friend. Her generosity and selflessness were beyond reproach. Sara is survived by her beloved wife, Judy, of Townsend, MA, along with their two dogs, Timber and Tela, her mother, Lucille A.
