It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Sarah Colelough, a devoted mother, beloved daughter, and treasured friend who called Melbourne, Victoria her home. Sarah’s untimely departure has left a deep and lasting void, especially for her two young sons, Oscar and Madden, who were the center of her world and the driving force behind her unwavering dedication and love.
Sarah lived her life fully and fearlessly, embracing the joys and challenges of motherhood with an open heart and unyielding strength. She was a woman who prioritized her children above all else, always putting their needs, hopes, and dreams first. To Sarah, being a mother was not just a role — it was her purpose and passion. Her love for Oscar and Madden knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment she spent nurturing, guiding, and supporting them.
Known for her radiant spirit, Sarah’s warmth and kindness touched the lives of many. She was the friend who listened without judgment, the family member who showed up with love and care, and the pillar of strength to those who needed her most. Though her life was far too short, the impact she made will be felt for generations to come.
In the wake of this heartbreaking loss, the Melbourne community and Sarah’s extended family have come together to offer support and comfort to Oscar and Madden during this unimaginable time. To honor Sarah’s memory and help provide for her sons, a fundraiser has been established. The funds raised will assist with funeral expenses and the creation of a memorial headstone — a lasting tribute to Sarah’s life, her love, and the legacy she leaves behind.
This gesture of kindness and solidarity stands as a testament to the profound effect Sarah had on those around her and the collective commitment to ensuring that her children are supported as they navigate the difficult path ahead.
We encourage all who knew Sarah, as well as compassionate members of the broader community, to offer their support—whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing her story—to help lighten the burden on Oscar and Madden.
As we mourn the loss of such a beautiful soul, let us also celebrate the love she gave so freely and the memories she created. Sarah’s spirit will live on in her sons, in the hearts of her family and friends, and in the countless lives she touched throughout her time on this earth.
To Oscar and Madden, know that your mother’s love surrounds you always. Though she is no longer with you in body, her presence will be felt in every smile, every moment of courage, and every heartbeat.
Rest in peace, Sarah Colelough. Your love endures beyond words and time.
