Through our heartache we became FAMILY
Angela Zent
Title: Founder
I am Angela Sarah's stepmom. I started this foundation to honor Sarah and her babies. Never do I want another parent to have to bury a child or grandchild because of domestic violence. And NEVER 4 at one time. The loss of Sarah, Carter, Ashton and Aubree was soul crushing! There will never be strong enough words, to EVER describe this amount of pain and loss we feel. Allen and I now spend as much time as we can with Sarah's daughter and son who are still living. We also have other grands that we see regularly. Losing Sarah and 3 of our grandchildren has made us realized how fast your life can take a wrong turn. We hope that we can help when someone needs it.
allen zent jr
Title: Founder
Allen is Sarah's dad. He is always the jokester with nicknames for the kids like "turkey lips" or "Sarah bones". The loss of Sarah, Carter, Ashton and Aubree shook him to his core. He comes off as ruff around the edges but really, he is a big olé' softy! Allen and I would get on our Harley late at night to go for a ride but always found ourselves standing in front of Sarah's house. all hours of night. None of us knew the real danger in Sarah's house
Jen More
Title: Co-Founder
Jen is Aubree's GiGi, she would get Aubree any chance she got. Aubree brought sunshine into their lives. Being grandparents is their absolute favorite thing. "After our granddaughter was taken from us, We had to get away from all of the horrible negative everything that was placed on our laps.".
TRAVIS MORE
Title: Co-Founder
Continued from Jen MoreTravis is Aubree's Pop -Pop. He, like Jen, had Aubree any chance they got! He used to take Aubree and her cousin Remi on wagon rides which was one of his favorite things to do with his granddaughters. "Our hope for the foundation is to reach one person, one family so the pain that we all endured on a daily basis isn't felt by them". AWARENESS IS VERY IMPORTANT

kAYLEY hENGL
Title: Advocacy / Board member
My name is Kayley and I had the pleasure of being Aubree Zent’s Aunt for the 2 short years she was alive. I enjoyed spending nearly every weekend with her, reading her favorite books, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and going to Gigi and Pop Pop’s house. Since her unexpected death, I have been looking for ways that I can make something positive come from all of this. Having the opportunity to be a part of the Sarah Zent Foundation is allowing me to positively impact other families who may be going through a similar situation. Keeping Aubree’s memory alive has quickly become one of my biggest goals. Together, I believe that we can make a difference.
SHANNON HUNTER
Title: Advocacy/Board member
Hi, I'm Shannon. I am Sarah's sister-in-law, a mother of three, and a registered nurse. While I was never privileged enough to meet Sarah, Carter, Ashton, or Aubree, I was there with their families when this unthinkable tragedy occurred. And though I was still new to the family at the time, I was fortunate enough to get to know Sarah and her beautiful babies through them. I am beyond honored to be a part of the Sarah Zent Foundation and to advocate for not only women, but families who are touched by domestic violence. "Unable are the loved to die.
