The Maribyrnong community will gather this Friday, 16 August, to bid farewell to Sarah Carter, a respected figure in local politics and international development, whose sudden passing has left many in mourning. The funeral service will take place at Flemington Racecourse, in The Atrium within the Grand Stand, commencing at 2 pm. Attendees are requested to arrive by 1.45 pm, with parking available via the Leonard Crescent entrance.
Sarah Carter, who was found deceased at her home last week, had an extensive and impactful career. She served as the mayor of Maribyrnong three times, a role in which she became the first woman to achieve this milestone. Her leadership extended beyond local government; she was a driving force in the Australian Aid and Parliament Project with Save the Children Australia, where she worked on initiatives that made a global difference.
In light of her dedication to humanitarian causes, Sarah’s family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to support ongoing efforts to build a better world for children. Contributions can be made through a dedicated page on the Save the Children Australia website.
For those unable to attend in person, the service will be livestreamed via the Tobin Brothers website, allowing the broader community and those who were touched by her work to participate in the farewell.
Sarah Carter’s passing at the age of 45 has left a significant void in both the local and international communities she served. Friday’s service is expected to draw a large turnout from those wishing to honour her memory and reflect on the legacy she leaves behind.
