Sara Beth Dorociak Obituary

Sara Beth Dorociak CHARLESTON - Sara Beth Dorociak, 31, of Charleston, South Carolina, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, September 7, 2023. She was born on October 12, 1991 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, daughter of Sara Summerford Hargett. Her passions in life were cosmetology, fashion, and animals. She loved making people look and feel beautiful. After working in Charleston as a legal assistant for several years she transitioned to becoming a licensed cosmetologist. She worked many years in Charleston, New Orleans, and San Diego in both high end and high volume salons. She also did hair and make-up for the entire family for all occasions. No one could do it better. She had a truly unique beauty and style about her. So much so that she won first place in the Charleston Rockabillaque Pin-up Girl contest. She loved to connect with animals, and always had dogs as pets. She was the kindest, gentlest, and most forgiving person we knew. She only saw the good in people. She never held a grudge or had an unkind word to say about another person. She had a huge heart to go with her beautiful smile. We all love her dearly and will forever miss her. She is survived by her mother, Sarah Summerford Hargett (Eddie); her two sisters, Whitney Emrick (Bobby) and Maggie Storie (John); her step-brother, Cole Hargett; her nephews, Tallon Gatch and Mason Gatch, and her niece, Elizabeth Storie. Sara Beth was preceded in death by her two brothers, Tallon Dorociak and Marshall Dorociak. Sara Beth loved others fiercely and whimsically, full of depth and beautiful surprise. She spread this love with a resilient community found in The Formation Project. If you would like to give in her honor, please visit TheFormationProject.org or send a check to: PO Box 71863, N.

Haven´t talked to you in a very long time, SB, but this piece was so perfectly written about the super cool little girl who was friends with my big sister who I would always feel so lucky to get to spend time around. I will carry those memories forever. I´m so sorry for your family´s loss. Rest peacefully love

My deepest condolences to all family and fellow friends who suffer from this loss. Sara Beth taught me so much about life at such a young, volatile time in my life. No matter what struggles, Sara Beth was always the kindest person I´ve ever known. She was always humble, and always the first to help anyone. She helped me feel so much less alone during my hardest high school years. I wouldn´t be who I am today without her.



I love you, Sara Beth...
