Sarah L. Gronski, 38, longtime Superior area resident, died on Friday, November 25, 2016 at Essentia Health St. Mary's Medical Center, Duluth, MN. After battling medical problems for most of her life, God took our special angel and gave her wings. She was born in Duluth, MN on September 28, 1978 the daughter of Gerald Gronski and Linda Anderson of Superior, WI.

Sarah graduated from Superior Senior High School in 1997. She also graduated from W.I.T.C. with an associate’s degree as a medical administrative specialist. She was employed by St Mary's Essentia Health in Duluth as a Transcriptionist for the last 17 years.

Sarah was an avid outdoors person that loved all sports and made sure she conquered them all. She was very competitive. Her last challenge was playing darts and had decided she had that game and bought her own set of darts not knowing it would be the last game she played. Sarah loved her family and friends so very much. She made sure everyone around her was ok even if she was not. She loved making people laugh as she had a contagious laugh herself. Sarah lived a life of love not fear and let nothing get in her way from doing what she wanted.
