Sarah Piccardo, 92, of Absecon, died peacefully in her home surrounded by her family and friends. Sarah was born in Mayo, Ireland. She came to America when she was 16 years old. After living in Scranton, Pennsylvania, she visited Atlantic City, New Jersey with her dear friend, Ann (Farley) Kerrigan and fell in love with the area. She worked at Haddon Hall for many years before it became Resorts International where she continued to work until her retirement in 2005.
