Sarah grew up in Birmingham and graduated from Shades Valley High School. In later years she was an integral part in the foundation of Rushen Rigging, Inc, now known as G&R Mineral Services. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and known as GRANNY to all who knew her. Her laughter and joy for life encompassed the loving spirit she carried. Her selflessness and giving nature will be missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Jimmy Hale Mission to be given in Sarah’s name.
