Sarah W. Farrell

Sarah Wallace “Bop Louie” Farrell, 19, of New Franklin, Ohio, passed away on February 7, 2026. Born on May 14, 2006, in Akron, Ohio, Sarah brought light and creativity into the world from the very beginning.

A proud graduate of Manchester schools in 2025, Sarah had recently embarked on her college journey at the University of Akron. In her first year, she was already excelling academically and earned a place on the Dean’s List—a testament to her dedication and talent.

Sarah was a gifted artist whose passion for music and sculpture reflected her vibrant spirit. She created and produced her own music, using it as a powerful outlet to express her thoughts and emotions. Her music legacy will be carried on with her Mother Rachel Ann Watson keeping her platforms running with proceeds going to St. Jude Hospital so that Sarah can continue to make a difference in people's lives. Her sculptures were equally expressive—each piece a reflection of her unique perspective and boundless imagination. Whether through sound or form, Sarah’s art carried her voice into the world with authenticity and courage.

Known for her originality and deeply caring nature, Sarah embraced life with an open heart. She was unwavering in her beliefs and deeply committed to justice and compassion. Her liberal values were not just political—they were personal convictions that guided how she treated others: with kindness, empathy, and respect. Those who knew Sarah often spoke of how she touched hearts wherever she went.

Sarah is lovingly remembered by her mother Rachel Ann Watson and stepfather Todd Allen Watson; her father Walter Ernest Farrell; paternal grandmother Charlene Joy Farrell; maternal grandmother Linda Rose Riehl; step paternal grandfather Mark Allen Watson;sisters Ashley Rose Kocis (Daniel Kocsis), Olivia Joy Farrell (James Philip Hassan), and Malori Elise Farrell; brother Dalton Patrick Watson; uncles David Bradley, Scott Watson(Lisa Penotte), and Timothy Bruce Riehl Jr.; aunts Shelle Davis and Erin Eldaye (Claude Eldaye); cousin Raelynn Glass, Angelina Rose Pierson (Landon Pierson) Janessa Eldaye, Gabriel Eldaye, Meagan Eldaye; nephews Matthew Allen Harbarger and Deo Kenneth Kocsis. And so many more.
