She loved teaching and especially loved hearing from former students and learning of their favorite memories of school. Sarah was a member of Lilburn First Baptist Church for more than 50 years and enjoyed many wonderful trips and activities through the years. Most recently, her friends in the Praise Sunday School Class were a special blessing as they gathered together for luncheons and game days. She loved gardening and being in her yard and could make just about anything grow. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and we will remember her devotion to each one of us.
