Sara Ebersole always had an adventurous spirit, even as a young child. She was super friendly with everyone and would grow up in Sarasota, Florida, being raised by her aunt and uncle.

She would keep a close relationship with her sister Michele, who was 14 years older than her.
At age 18, Sara would marry. That marriage, however, only lasted a year.
Sara would have another relationship soon after, and while that relationship turned out to be quite tumultuous, they would have a daughter together.
