Parsen, Sarah Elizabeth MADISON - 

Sarah Elizabeth Parsen, age 23, passed away on Oct. 28,
2005. Sarah Parsen's life was rich with love. She gave
love full-heartedly and the people surrounding her, her
family, her friends, her loved ones, gained much strength
and comfort from her joyful energy and warming smile.
Sarah grew up in Madison with her parents John and Celia
and her brother Michael. Throughout her life, Sarah was
very close to her family, her grandmothers, Pearl Parsen
and Reta Lysenko, her uncles, Rod, John and Treble Lysenko
and his family, including Sarah's aunt Laura and her
cousins, Rachel and Nikita. Sarah shared many beautiful
moments with her close family and an extended family of
friends and loved ones. It was in 2003, while being in
Australia as an exchange student from the University of
LaCrosse, that Sarah met Troy Saunders, an Australian from
Melbourne and smiled at him for the first time. They soon
fell in love and their love grew into a strong
relationship. Upon returning home, following her time
abroad in Australia, Sarah finished her studies at the
University of LaCrosse before starting to work with Humana
in Waukesha. Despite the distance, the love Sarah and Troy
shared never faded. It took two years for them to finally
embrace their dream of being together, during which time
their relationship held strong and their love for one
another grew. In October 2005, Troy came to the States to
be with Sarah and start a life together. One week later,
when they were living their dream at its fullest, life
decided to unite Sarah and Troy in love forever. They died
in a tragic car accident near the cottage of Sarah's
family in Door County, on the shores of Lake Michigan, a
place where she had spent some of the most peaceful and
happy moments of her young life. Everybody who knew
Sarah's smile will remember her as someone who gave enough
love to grasp the beauty of life in all its countless
ways. Her smile lives on in our hearts. Sarah's family
will hold a memorial service on Wednesday, Dec. 28th,
2005, at 6 p.m. at the FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY, 900
University Bay Drive, Madison, with the Rev. Michael
Schuler. A memorial scholarship in Sarah's name is in the
process of being established, allowing her love for
teaching and learning to live on. Donations are to be sent
to the Parsen family.
