Sara Colleen Cummings

June 30, 1981 - November 8, 2021

Sara Colleen Cummings, age 40, of Cleveland Heights, passed away on November 8, 2021. Sara was born in Norfolk, VA, on June 30, 1981, to Marnie and David Cummings. She attended Mentor High School, Lakeland Community College, and Aveda Hair Institute. Sara was a nomad all her life, bouncing from bartending in Put-In-Bay to seasons with her beloved nieces and nephew in Arizona. The countdown to Christmas began December 26th every year, and she was never going to be happy until April 20, Joey Lawrence’s birthday, was recognized as a National Holiday. And no one was more upset when Taco Bell discontinued the Mexican Pizza than our Bear. But it wasn't until she gave birth to the love of her life, Vella Rose, that she indeed found her calling as a mother. There was no doubt that she loved that little girl, her best friend, and her reason for living. Sara flooded Facebook with pictures of their antics, and we all watched with bated breath, cheering them on. She worked as a Direct Support Professional for Brittany Residential and enjoyed caring for her patients immensely. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Sara is survived by her daughter, Vella; her mother, Marnie; her sisters, Jaime (James) Blair, Amanda (Michael) Barwick, and Jackie (Mike) Cummings; brother, David Cummings; nephew, Levi; and her nieces, Brooklyn, Kaylee, Kaiah, Emelia, and Evalyn. She was preceded in death by her father, David; and brother-in law, Scott. A Sarabration of Life will be held on December 4, 2021 at North Ridge Event Center, 1853 N Ridge Rd, Painesville, OH 44077, from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Everyone is asked to wear Christmas attire as we all know it was Sara's favorite holiday. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the GoFundMe account set up to help Vella, https://gofund.me/fe1d0024 Please offer condolences at www.brunners.com.
