Horner Lieske McBride & Kuhl Funeral and Cremation Services in Kearney are in charge of arrangements. She was born February 28, 1975 in Burke, S.D. to George and Mary (Geaghan) Matucha. She grew up on a farm north of Burke and graduated from Burke High School in 1993. Growing up, everyone said Sarah didn't need dolls to play with because she had the real thing. Sarah had a special talent for caring. She was a Certified Nurse's Aide for 15 years and did daycare for area families in their homes. Each of those kids had a special place in her heart. Sarah had a dream of becoming a nurse but that changed somewhat when on February 23, 2008 she married Bracken Sheldon in Burke SD. She was devoted to helping people find their faith along with her husband. She and her husband moved to Bossier City, LA then returned to Kearney in 2009. She worked at Cabela’s in Kearney. Their dream was to plant a church in Nebraska. One of Sarah's greatest joys was family, especially her nieces and nephews. No matter what, they were always a topic of conversation. She enjoyed the many concerts and events she went to with her friends and family. She wanted her own family so badly and was close to adopting. Sarah's life ended too soon. She touched many lives with her caring heart and beautiful smile. Those left behind, awaiting the day they will be reunited are: Surviving relatives: Husband Bracken J Sheldon of Minden, NE Brother : George Matucha and fiancée Nylda Stevens of Pierre, S.D.
