Sara Vana Dunnington, 55, of Rochester, MN passed away peacefully at her residence on July 15, 2020.
Sara was born on February 2, 1965 in Rochester. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1983. She then graduated from Mankato State University with a degree in Computer Science. Sara returned to Rochester and began working for an affiliate of IBM, as a Software Engineer. When the affiliate dissolved, she began working for IBM, also as a Software Engineer. She worked in this capacity until her death.
Sara was a kind and generous soul who always put others before her. She loved to be with her family and friends, planning many game-nights. She loved the North Shore of MN, and visited yearly with her brother. She was a smart woman who enjoyed puzzles, making homemade greeting cards, and her fur-babies: Callie and Sophie. She will be deeply missed.
Sara is survived by her parents, Ted and Sally Dunnington of Rochester; her sister, Ann Pittenger of Rochester; her brother, Joel Dunnington of Rochester; her niece, Kelsey Pittenger of Minneapolis; and nephew, Andrew Pittenger of Rochester.
She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents.
The memorial gathering for Sara will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August, 8, 2020 in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home. A private family service will be held prior to the gathering. Sara wished for her remains to be buried alongside her grandparents in Montour, IA.
