Sara B. Edgar
ODESSA — Some people go their whole lives and never know what love is, but Sara B. Edgar is not one of them. She had many people who loved her, family and her special friends. Her husband Len stood by her from June 20, 1948, until Aug. 22, 2000, her final victorious end.
Her life began Dec. 15, 1926, in Pittsburg to Nota Dean and Jack Boyd, and she had special memories of her daughters, Karen and Ruth, and their husbands, Jay and Charlie. But the joy of her life was her granddaughter, Shannon, who she loved beyond all things.
The lives she touched, the hearts that held her close, she was truly one of God’s angels. To us, this woman wasn’t just a loving wife, mother and friend, she was someone who always had a smile and a heart-warming love to share. This woman, this wonderful woman, was my grandmother and my friend. I will miss her more than words can say. Now, heaven has the privilege of knowing her, and she will always remain in our hearts, in our mind and in our spirits as the woman with the biggest heart of anyone we have or will ever know. We love you, grandmommy.
Interment will be at 9 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 24, 2000, at Sunset Memorial Gardens officiated by Dr. Steve Trout, senior pastor of First United Methodist Church.
