Obituary For Sabrina Natalie Hagstrom
Sabrina Natalie Hagstrom, 21, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was born on April 20, 2002, and slipped away from this world on October 31, 2023. She struggled with severe depression for the past several years and finally left her pain behind. Her wish was to drift into the ether, where her sadness would dissipate, and she would float freely. Sabrina was always candid about her battle with mental illness, worked relentlessly to heal, and showed compassion for others who also struggled.
You would know Sabrina by her flaming orange hair and unique sense of style. She never wanted to be a perfectly uniform cookie-cutter young lady; instead, she was rather a wild monster cookie filled with all kinds of wonderful, mismatched pieces. And she could swear like a sailor when the mood inspired her.
Sabrina was always happiest spending time with her goofball horse, Linus. She knew he could jump the moon, and together they were ridiculously brave. She loved him fiercely and wanted to be the best horse mom. Linus never wanted anything except more treats; Sabrina always indulged him.
She is survived by her parents, Tania Riske (Lee Mahlum) and Dean Hagstrom (Joanna). Her younger brother, Nathan, will quite possibly roll his eyes but ultimately agree that he had a great sister, even if she did forever hoard all the horse treats. Others who will miss her are grandparents Arnold and Carol Riske and Jean Hagstrom, and uncles and aunts Craig and Nikki Riske, Darren Hagstrom, Dale (Jennifer) Hagstrom, Gary Hagstrom, and Debra Hagstrom.
Sabrina cared deeply for her friends and would whip up a crocheted hat for you if she thought you might be getting cold. She boasted the undisputed best boyfriend in the world, Seth Hieb. She had many special friends at Ameritina Polo Farm and on the Ad Astra Eventing Team. Lani and Nadia, you were her best friends and she loved you. Zoe and Nona, your friendship and mutual obsession with America’s Next Top Model gave her peace of mind. Linus, Izzy, and Pete will also be missing the nose-booping, snack-feeding, and cuddling-smooching girl who loved all animals. Sometimes I think maybe we should have let you bring Linus into the house, after all.
Sabrina would give a solid thumbs-down (or, more likely, a middle-finger up) to a somber memorial event. To honor her wishes, there will be an open-house celebration at Ameritina Polo Farm, 608 230th Street, Woodville, WI 54028, on Saturday, November 11, 12 – 4 pm. Please join us to share a Sabrina story and drink a beverage. The only request is that you wear or accessorize with something orange--the brighter the better. In lieu of flowers, please consider a monetary donation to Lost Creek Ranch (lostcreekranchwi.org) or another non-profit organization that supports your own passion.
Condolences
