A FEW THINGS ABOUT SARIAH
As a wife: Sariah was married to a prophet who received marvelous revelations both in dreams and visions. Lehi, as most prophets were, was a hated man and he was not only mocked, but there were designs to kill him. She was with Lehi when he 'left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver, and his precious things, and took nothing with him, save it were his family, and provisions, and tents, and departed into the wilderness."
As a mother: Nephi tells us that he was "born of goodly parents." She risked losing her sons when they returned to Jerusalem, the place they fled for their lives, twice. Once they went back to get important records and the second to get wives. The age span of her children is great: adult married sons and newborn sons. She saw her 2 sons try to kill another. Her sons all got married at once.
As a daughter of God: The scriptures say that Lehi took nothing save his family and things, not 'household' like in the Old Testament when families travelled. Which means to me, that there were no servants.
She dared to get in a boat her sons made with her sons and daughters and their wives and their children and her two young sons and Lehi - and travelled across the sea to an unknown place. She set up a household in a new land.
