A burial will be followed at the Oak Lawn Cemetery in Centreville, MS. Sarah Ellen, as she was affectionately known by her family and hometown friends, was a person of intelligence, passion, determination and beauty, both inside and out. She was a role model to her students, and an inspiration to her family and friends. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and teacher, but also a staunch advocate of the causes she believed in. Her life was filled with love, accomplishment and triumph, but also adversity, tragedy, and pain. She overcame all of this to be remembered fondly by those who knew her as a true woman of the 20th Century. FAITH CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME SOUTH, 100 Beverly Parkway, Pensacola, is entrusted with arrangements. You may express your condolences online at www.fcfhs.com.
