Sarabelle also worked for Missouri Child Support Enforcement in 2010. Sarabelle was very enthusiastic about the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals. Sarabelle and Steve loved to go camping and spent most of their summers outdoors. They were incredibly thankful to get one last trip in before her passing. She loved to play the game "Joker" and was very competitive at family functions when they would play. If you were to ask anyone, Sarabelle was the best cook around. She loved spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids, as well as attending their sporting events, no matter how far the drive. She was so proud of each and everyone of them.
