Sarah grew up in a small foothills town in western North Carolina named Glen Alpine and loved the Lord Jesus Christ from a very young age. She graduated from Glen Alpine High School, where she was homecoming queen and a member of the marching band on percussion. Sarah had a beautiful voice and sang in the glee club and the First Baptist choir. She was crowned Miss Morganton in 1970 and went on to participate in the prestigious Miss North Carolina pageant.

Sarah and her high-school sweetheart, Steve, lived in both Carolinas and settled in Annapolis, Maryland to raise their family. She had a full life with careers in real estate, banking, healthcare, business owner and even as a certified hot-air-balloon pilot. Sarah retired from Martin Memorial Health Systems in Florida where she worked for over a decade. Most recently, she authored the children's book series Grandma Stories, which benefits the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

She enjoyed spending time with her family, caring for her grandchildren, sharing delicious home-cooked meals with loved ones, and traveling around the United

States and abroad. Sarah was a devoted mother, loving wife, and the dearest of friends to many. Sarah's faith and love will be felt for generations to come.
