She and Liss were farmers in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma for 42 years.

Due to health, they went to California to be near most of their children.

She went into Va Ray Convalescent Home in December and was there until her death.

Her daughters, Myrtle Smith of Stockton, California; Violet Tomberlin of Lockeford, California; and Bethel Ridgeway of Clearlake, California cared for Sarah before she entered the Convalescent Home.

She was a loving companion and a wonderful mother, who considered other people first. She will be greatly missed, but God knows best and called her home to be with Him.
