Sarah enjoyed many happy years of retirement surrounded by her beloved daughters and eventually moving back to the sandhills where she began.

I’m sorry for your loss, pain and suffering. Whenever we lose a loved one in death we feel a sting and a void in our hearts, as if someone ripped part of our heart out. The pain seems like it will never go away. It will with time, or it will at least ease
Diane and Debbie,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. I remember earlier times when she and you girls would visit my Grandparents in Carthage. She was such a loving and caring person. Our prayers are with you. Joe and Linda Vaughn
