Sara graduated from Central High School in Columbia, TN and Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL. She attended Ohio University in Athens, OH. Her teaching career started in Fulton County, GA where she taught at Underwood Hills, The Meadows and S.L. Lewis in College Park. Sara also taught at Flat Shoals Elementary in Conyers, GA. Sara had the pleasure of teaching for 40 plus years until she retired in 2005.

Sara loved being in the classroom and sharing reading and creative writing with her students. She taught hundreds of children throughout her career and loved her students and their families beyond the time she had them in the classroom.

Her family was foremost in her life as a daughter, wife, sister, mother, and grandmother. She was a faithful friend to so many and treasured those dear friends. Upon retiring to the coast of North Carolina, Sara enjoyed fishing and shark tooth hunting on the beach with her husband Ken. She loved having guests and enjoying the beach with them. Sara’s Yorkshire Terrier, Winston, gave her great joy. She was a blessing to all she encountered and will be deeply missed.
