A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 8 at Holloways Baptist Church with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

The family would like to thank Sara's friends and church members for their kindness and support over the years and in lieu of flowers, memorials should be made to Holloways Baptist Church, 131 Briggs Road, Lexington NC 27292.
