Sara Johns Strange

Sara Johns Strange, 88, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, died peacefully in her home on the morning of February 2, 2022, surrounded by her closest loved ones.

Sara was a Greenville, SC native, born on May 26, 1933. She was the daughter of the late William C. Johns and Hattie Elizabeth Phillips Johns. She was a proud graduate of Parker High School. Sara married her husband, Tommy, on February 3, 1951, and three years later they started Strange Bros. Grading Co., Inc. Sara was a devout Christian and a faithful member of Taylors First Baptist Church where she served in many areas. She took much pride in growing her loving family into what it is today – her passion for her family shined bright. Her love for dogs, reading, sewing, gardening, and cooking was affectionately passed down to her loved ones. She and Tommy loved and enjoyed spending time at their mountain home at Caesars Head.

Sara is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 71 years, Thomas "Tommy" R. Strange, senior; and their two remaining children, Michael J. Strange (Barbara Hendley) and LeeAnn S. Weber (Jack). She is predeceased by her eldest son, Thomas R. Strange, junior.

Fondly known as Grandmother to eight adoring grandchildren and "GeeGee" to eight great grandchildren: Casey S. Swofford (Brandon) – Caydon, Michael and Sara; Thomas R. Strange, III (Charlotte) – Thomas and Harper; Kylie R. Strange – Trystan; Terra E. Strange – Kassius; David B. Weber (Shelley) – Carter; John T. Weber; Carly W. Bickley (Alex); Michael J. Weber.
