Sarah Ann Lopp born December 6, 1943 in Gadsden Alabama became the 2nd baby girl to Arthur and Helen Lopp.

Her parents relocated while she was still young, she spent most of life living in Akron Ohio. She left school to start a family of her own but went back to get her High School diploma as soon as her youngest child started Kindergarten.

Being a single parent, she had to be a jack of many trades. First becoming one of the best Mixologist in Akron to provide for her 6 children. Then the Greater Bethal Baptism Church secretary. Beginning to start looking for a career, she went to back to school first becoming a Drug Counselor for SRO. She applied and was hired as a Parole Officer for the city of Akron. She again, went to Hammel College to update her computer and office skills and was hired as an Administrative Assistant to Dave Brennan, Akron's biggest Developer, helping with the development and opening of the Inventors Hall of Fame, then assisting with starting the program ABOL – A Better Way of Life with Dave's wife, Ann Brennan. Both of these projects are still in existence and operating to this day in downtown Akron Ohio. These would be her last projects as for working outside the home. She felt her worth would be better at home to help raise her grandchildren, along with her nieces and nephews.

She never felt that she gave up anything by leaving the workforce to return to be a homemaker. Her mindset was she was older, more experienced in life so she had a second chance to guide them since they were young and she loved them like they were her own. And indirectly, they were. When you question her about it, she always says, "I would do it all again if I had to! I love those kids!!!"

Once everyone was grown and gone having children of their own, she moved to the James R. Williams Towers until her health declined and was unable to live by herself. Suffering from Dementia, she was placed at Continuing Care in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio in the Memory Care Center. She remained there until her passing.
