Sabrina Navaretta

April 3, 2004 – April 28, 2023

Our Family wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to the Syosset and surrounding Communities for their kindness and support through this difficult time.

Sabrina had an infectious smile and a love for life! She was an Honors student at the University of Delaware studying management in the Lerner College when she was involved in a fatal car accident at the University on April 28th. She had received the AP Scholar with Distinction, was in the Italian Honor Society and the National Honor Society at Syosset High School, Class of 2022.

She enjoyed family, the love of the Ocean, her volunteer work as an autism advocate, serving the Community, dog rescue groups and her athletic teams. As she lived her short life, always thinking of others, her last wish was to be an organ donor. Her family has set up the Sabrina Navaretta Scholarship Fund, where a substantial scholarship will be awarded to a graduating Senior who closely resembles those qualities that Sabrina exhibited.
