Sarah Mesa

Our beautiful mother, Sarah Mesa, a lifelong Waukesha resident was called home to the arms of the Lord to join her husband Nicolas in Heaven surrounded by the love of her family on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at the age of 89. She was born in Rural Cameron, Texas on May 4, 1930 the daughter of Nabor and Maria (Duque) Lopez. Sarah enjoyed dancing, gardening and sitting outside watching the birds. She was happiest when she was with her family and she especially cherished her grandchildren. She was a longtime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.

She is further survived by her special sister-in-law Florence Gomez, her 4-legged couch companion Libby, many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Nicolas in 2001 and her brothers and sisters.
