Our dearest Sierra passed away suddenly in a car accident on Saturday 2/17/18. Sierra has always been a beautiful light at 4 Paws and had such a wonderful impact on everyone she met. Anyone that knew Sierra was changed for the better just by knowing her. She was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.. Our hearts are with her friends and family.
We also wanted the world to know that Sierra was an organ donor and her heart will live on through a three year old baby! Because of Sierra, this child’s heart valves were able to be replaced and will now beat the way it was intended to. She continues to amaze us. She would be so happy knowing that part of her helped save someone else. We find comfort in knowing this.
Sierra was raised in Sarasota, FL. and returned to her original home of Albany, NY. when she reached adulthood. Sierra started as a Kennel Assistant at a local Animal Hospital and found that she loved the veterinary field.
In 2013 Sierra joined the 4 Paws family as a veterinary assistant and the Laboratory Team Leader and immediately found that she enjoyed assisting the Doctors in their work of providing excellent care to patients, as well as working with the owners in tailoring patient care to the individual. She believed that clients and their beloved pets teach us valuable lessons, and that we all learn something new everyday.
Sierra enjoyed spending her free time hiking, fishing, hunting and camping. For relaxation she liked to sketch and paint.
Sierra will forever be a part of our 4 Paws Team <3
