Sarah Jane Wolfgang

Sarah Jane Wolfgang (née Sweene), age 45, of Vermilion, Ohio, passed away on July 24, 2026.

Born on June 13, 1981, Sarah was a lifelong resident of Vermilion and embraced life with a vibrant spirit, an infectious smile, and a heart full of kindness. She graduated from Vermilion High School with the Class of 1999, where she proudly performed with the Marching Band Color Guard and shared her love of music as a member of the high school choir.

Sarah's warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine compassion touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She spent several summers working at Cedar Point, where her outgoing personality and strong work ethic made a lasting impression. She later served her community as a bus driver for Vermilion Local Schools, caring for the students she transported each day with patience, dedication, and a kind heart. Her lifelong passion for music eventually became part of her career as a DJ with DejaVu Entertainment "Fran Beatty", where she helped create unforgettable celebrations and joyful memories for countless families and friends.

Above all, Sarah's greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted and loving wife to Jeffrey Wolfgang and a proud mother to John Evans (Alisson Smith), Victoria Barone, Gavin Barone, Randy (Angelquic) Wolfgang, and Racheal Wolfgang. Her children's father, Matthew Barone. She was also a deeply cherished grandmother to Maila and Langston, Isabella, and Harper, who were the light of her life. Sarah treasured every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, and her love for them was constant and unconditional.

She is also survived by her sisters, Greta (Dan) Williams, Stella (Paul) Sanders, and Jennifer Sweene; her brothers, James Sweene and Dan; her sisters-in-law, Nicole Wolfgang and Jennifer Traft; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

Sarah was preceded in death by her father, John Sweene, and her mother, Noreen (née Uleski) Sweene Green. Her family finds comfort in knowing she is now reunited with them in eternal peace.

Sarah will be remembered for her compassionate heart, her joyful spirit, her wonderful sense of humor, and her remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcomed, valued, and loved. Her laughter, generosity, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, and her memory will continue to inspire those whose lives she so beautifully touched.
