Resident of the Month

We are delighted to recognize Sarah West as our January Resident of the Month and celebrate the remarkable life, spirit, and joy she brings to our Wildcat community.
Sarah is the youngest of five children born to the late Rev. Peter and Louise West, and she proudly calls Berkeley County her hometown. After growing up locally, Sarah ventured off to college, beginning a life journey that would take her far beyond the Lowcountry. Her professional career led her to Connecticut, where she worked at Yale New Haven Hospital in the Neurophysiology Lab—a role that reflects both her intelligence and dedication to helping others. Following a fulfilling career, Sarah retired and returned to South Carolina, settling in Anderson to be closer to family.
Family has always been at the heart of Sarah’s life. She especially cherished traveling the world alongside her sister Rebecca, creating memories filled with adventure and discovery. Those travels helped shape Sarah’s adventurous spirit, which continues to shine today. Whether exploring new places or simply enjoying a good conversation, Sarah embraces life with enthusiasm and curiosity.
Sarah has a deep love for animals, enjoys taking walks, shopping, and is proudly known as a true foodie—especially when it comes to desserts. If there’s something sweet involved, Sarah is sure to be interested! Her wonderful sense of humor adds to her charm and makes time spent with her full of laughter and warmth.
She remains closely connected to her family, especially her sister Flora, who lives in Moncks Corner and visits often. Sarah also values her strong network of friends and extended family, making connection and communication an important part of her daily life.
This past September, Sarah celebrated a milestone 80th birthday, and she continues to approach each day with grace, wit, and an adventurous heart. We are honored to have Sarah as part of our Wildcat family and grateful for the joy she brings to our community.
Congratulations, Sarah—you are truly one of a kind!
