Former Curry Street resident Sara L. Hague, passed away at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at the Hennis Care Centre in Dover, Ohio, where she had resided for the past 15 months. She was 92.

She was born in East Liverpool on December 19, 1922, a daughter of the late Harold D. and Esther M. Geisz Van Fossan. She was a 1940 graduate of East Liverpool High School, and remained in this area until moving to the Dover area to be closer to family.

Soon after high school, she married Herbert H. Yager, who was killed in action during World War II, leaving her at home with two small children. She later married Jack Hague, and remained a devoted homemaker until he preceded her in death in 1994.

A member of the 1st United Methodist Church in East Liverpool, Sara belonged to the East Liverpool High School Alumni Association, as well as the Lady Elks, and she had volunteered at the snack bar at the East Liverpool City Hospital for many years. In her spare time, she also enjoyed bowling and had belonged to several leagues.

Yager and his wife, Nichole, of Coshocton, Rae Ann Bowden of Dover, OH, Robin L. Bowden of Oakdale, MN, and Karissa M. Sicklesmith and her husband, Eric, of Lisbon. Another grandson, Derrick Whittingon, preceded her in death. There are six great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Sara was also preceded in death in January, 2013 by her daughter, Barbara Yager Bowden, and by her daughter-in-law, Cindy Yager, who passed away in November, 2011. In addition, two sisters and a brother preceded her: Rosetta Shallcross, Marjorie Mitterling and Harold “Sonny” Van Fossan.
