Sara Heatherington, 90, of Munster, Indiana, passed away Wednesday, January 25, 2017, peacefully at home. Sara was born on March 15, 1926 in Pueblo, Colorado, the daughter of Mellie Steffano and Vito Busillo. Sara completed her education in Wyoming and then worked at the Green River, Wyoming abstract office. In 1962, she and her husband Robert (Bob) moved to Indiana where she worked in Munster’s Lanier School Library, nurtured her love for books, and created lifelong friendships. She remained forever a proud, sassy and independent Wyoming native, and she took care to preserve her Italian heritage.Sara was also a devout Catholic and a member of St. Thomas More Church. She was an avid bridge player; and at 90 years old, she remained a prized bridge partner. The game of bridge spoke to Sara’s love of learning. Sara loved experimenting in her kitchen and shared new recipes with her family and friends. Her family continues the Italian tradition of making pizzelle cookies. She is survived by her loving family: daughters, Lisa (George K. Falkenbach), Gina (Kevin Tilka), and Amy (Brad) Hemingway; grandchildren, Wyatt, Grace, Joe, Nelson and Heather; sisters, Elizabeth (late Harold) Penland and Marguerite (late Gene) Boatright, nieces, nephews, and many life-long friends. Sara was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Bob, on January 26, 2002, her parents, and brothers-in-law.
