Her colleague, US air force staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four years old, remains hospitalized in serious condition.
Memorials across the state have been held in their memory.
The president explained heâs discussed a meeting at the presidential residence for the loved ones of both individuals of the West Virginia Guard.
âI said: âWhen youâre ready, because thatâs a tough thing, arrive at the White House. Weâre going to pay tribute to her,â Trump addressed the press. âAnd likewise with him, whether he recovers or not.â
Attendees came together over the weekend at Webster County high school in West Virginia to remember Beckstrom.
Both they had been working with the state guard as part of Trumpâs national effort to assist public safety in Washington DC.
âSarah was the type of pupil that teachers desired. She behaved with calm resilience, a bright grin and a positive energy that encouraged people around her,â Jarrod Hankins, the leader of Beckstromâs former high school, informed the media. âShe was kind, compassionate and always eager to assist people.â
Memorial plans for Sarah are in the process of planning.

The event prompted the Trump administration to halt refugee claims and halt providing entry permits to possessors of Afghan passports.
Andrew Wolfe, a native of Martinsburg, enlisted in February 2019 and is a graduate of Musselman High, per the AP.
He is still undergoing care and is âin a critical fightâ, West Virginia governor Patrick Morrisey mentioned on a news program.
Attorney general the attorney general told the program that she also intended to visit Wolfeâs family.
Sarah, from her hometown, completed her education from Webster County High in mid-2023 and joined the military shortly after, working as a military police officer with excellence, as stated by the military.
