In Memorial

Sarah Swallow

1988 – 2024

Sarah was a dear member of the Bayley House community for over 18 years. Sarah had such a cheeky, determined and fun loving attitude to life. With a love for the stage and performing, Sarah was a key cast member in the end of year concerts and previously the AGM concerts. Sarah was also an active member of Smooth Stars and Step on Its. Sarah accomplished so much throughout her life at Bayley House, with a trip to Milan through the MELMI exchange program one of the highlights. Sarah also achieved a big step in independence, moving out of home with friends.

Everyone at Bayley House would like to send our condolences to Sarah’s parents Lesley and Jeff, and Sarah’s family who are all long standing, generous members of our community.

Anne Marie will be missed by all who knew her and we send our condolences to her family, who have been an integral support to her.
