Kominek, Sarah Sarah C. Kominek passed away peacefully while surrounded by family on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. Sarah was born on February 2, 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan to the late Drake and Catherine Atkinson. She is survived by her children; Isabelle, Alex and Anneliese, sisters; Elizabeth Irwin and Jennie (Charlie) Camarda, and numerous nieces and nephews. Sarah lived in Grand Rapids until the age of 9, and then moved with her family to Portage, Michigan. She attended Portage Northern High School where she graduated in 1986. After high school, she was inspired to help others and began to pursue Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education, first attending Central Michigan University and then Eastern Michigan University. Years later, her children inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Michigan University which she completed in 2013. Sarah was a dedicated mother to her three children, whom she cherished and loved dearly. She encouraged them to follow their heart and be true to themselves. Her children's interests and her desire to give back to the community fueled her dedication and love to be a role model through volunteering in scouts, sports and marching band. This was also seen in her role as assistant branch manager at a local bank. Sarah enjoyed sewing and scrapbooking, however her main passion was photography. Her favorite time of year was spring as she enjoyed watching all of the newly budded flowers come to life. Sarah had a warm and loving heart, and once she met you she always remembered who you were. She made many, many friends in her lifetime. She was quick witted and had a wonderful sense of humor. Taken from all too soon, she will be forever missed and remembered. Private services will be held for Sarah and she will be laid to rest at Vicksburg Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in honor of Sarah's late father to the Alzheimer's Foundation. To view Sarah's personal webpage and leave a tribute please visit: https://www.langelands.com
