Jocelyn Sarbacker Family Benefit

Jocelyn was an integral part of the Avante family for 10 years. She was enthusiastic, encouraging and most of all, an incredible friend. Jocelyn had an eye for design and detail, and approached her work and relationships with such intention. She took great pride in the look and feel of our properties and embraced her friendship with each and every tech on our maintenance team. Her work ethic was unparalleled and inspiring. Not only did she manage multiple residential communities, Jocelyn also oversaw our marketing and social media, and provided years of invaluable mentorship to students and leasing agents. Even with all her responsibilities, Jocelyn was always one of the first in the room to offer help when another person was having a tough day. We do not have the words to express how much her presence will be missed.

All funds raised will benefit Jocelyn's family. Avante Properties will match all donations up to $50,000.

Jocelyn Kay Sarbacker, age 35, of Edgerton, passed away unexpectedly from complications after childbirth on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at Meriter Hospital in Madison. Jocelyn was born on January 10th, 1988, the daughter of Todd and Laura (Crabtree) Olson. She was a 2006 graduate of Edgerton High School and attained her associate degree from MATC in Interior Design. She worked in property management for Avanté Properties. Jocelyn married her best friend, love of her life Ben Sarbacker on May 24, 2014, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Edgerton. Ben and Jocelyn met in 2006 at the Stoughton Fair and bonded over their passion for dairy cattle. They were inseparable ever since. Together they enjoyed the Wisconsin State Fair, World Dairy Expo and of course all things football.

Jocelyn was so passionate about her family, especially Ben and her boys. She was so proud to be a “boy mom” and wore her title with honor. She instilled the importance of making moments special in all of her boys, Ben included. Jocelyn had an eye to make everything around her beautiful whether it be her perfectly styled home, curated gifts to her family or her impeccable snack boards for events. She meant so much to everyone around her and was idolized by her little sisters. Her kindness, thoughtfulness and competitive spirit will live on through her children.
