Sadie Mauro, of Shelburne in Middlesex County, was killed Saturday when the boat she was riding on crashed into a jetty in Dennis, state police said.
A celebration of life for the rising Dover-Sherborn High School will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church, at 11 Washington Street in Sherborn, at 10 a.m. Friday. Visitors are asked to wear casual summer attire to honor the girl who loved the season. The service will be live-streamed at https://www.UUAC.org.
Those who knew her called Sadie "effortlessly kind" and said she had endless potential. She was a standout on the school's lacrosse team and had verbally committed to play the sport at Gettysburg College in 2024, university officials had said.
“She just had that kind of glow and ease about her… Always happy," said Leslie Frank of Mass. Elite Lacrosse in her obituary. "You felt like she was a personality you could trust anything you had in her care."
Dover-Sherborn Public Schools Superintendent Beth McCoy called her death an "unimaginable tragedy" in a message to faculty and staff but said the community's resilience shows through in moments like these.
“We will continue to support each other in the days and weeks ahead as we surround Sadie’s family, friends, and loved ones with care and love," McCoy wrote. "I will be hugging my children extra tight this evening — I am sure you will do the same."
Rescue crews found Sadie's body off Cold Storage Beach around 11:30 p.m. following a multi-agency search, state police said.
Police have not said what caused the crash that killed Mauro and injured five others. A 17-year-old was also hospitalized in the incident.
