Her family later moved to Seattle where Sara helped in her father’s junk business and her mother’s work resettling Jewish immigrants. In 1930, she married Max Efron; Sara then spent time with her husband and children in Baltimore, Los Angeles, and again in Seattle, where she worked for Jewish and social justice causes.
