Sarah Spencer, 59

January 05, 1962 - January 20, 2021

Sarah Spencer, 59, born in Lancaster on January 5, 1962 to Nathan Levitan, Jr., and the late Mary (Darlington) Levitan, died at her Manor Township home on January 20, 2021.

Her greatest accomplishment was being a mother. Sarah dearly loved her kids and grandchildren, and they were her reason for living. She also cared greatly for animals, especially her cat Pumpkin.

Sarah worked in healthcare for 38 years. Her best attribute was helping sick people.

Sarah is survived by her father Nathan, her son John Burton Spencer, III, her daughter Rebecca Ann Spencer; six grandchildren and one great-grandson; and three brothers, Dr. Donald P. Masey, husband of Carolyn of Lititz, Daniel Levitan of Marietta, and Nate Levitan. In addition to her mother, Sarah was preceded in death by her brother Douglas Levitan and her cousin Cathy McVey.

Private services will take place, with burial in Christadelphian Cemetery, Neffsville.

Please omit flowers, and kindly consider a memorial contribution to the American Cancer Society, 314 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA 17603 or to the Humane League of Lancaster County, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA 17602.

Sarah and I worked together back in 2017 at bv, she always helped me when I worked alone and we had so many conversations and spent time in the break room, I’ll always cherish the moments we had and I’m greatful I got to meet you, forever in my heart. Jenna Acosta

I worked at the same place Sara did, she was very caring 
about the residents and enjoyed her job.  Loved her grandchildren 
and a lot about them, with little stories about things they
did. I will remember her and the fun times we had.

You were always kind and so sweet to me from the first day we met way back in 2004-I never thought when I said bye to you a couple weeks ago that god had other plans for you. You were  taken away from your family way too soon. You are now pain free and frolicking around with your brother and mom!  We will take great care of dad. Love your sister in law  – Colleen

Sarah was such a kind hearted and caring person. It was a privilege to work with her at Brethren Village.  Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.

My heart 💜 deepest condolences to the family! She wasn’t only my best friend, she was my sister. We went through bad and good times together. I am happy we got to spend  a lot of time together before God called her name. She is pain free no more suffering and no worries now. She was a warrior. Sis, you might be gone from this earth but will never be forgotten and you will always be in my heart💜. As always, I love you sis!  Fly, fly high!! R.I.P. Honey, until we meet again.
With much love your sister from another mother, Ruth BKA Ruby

To the most amazing mother on earth and in heaven, I love you Mom, and already I miss you more than words can say. You were an angel before you left, we just couldn’t see your wings. Please watch over us, until we meet again mom.
With eternal love,
Your only son, John John
