Remembering Sarah O B I T U A R Y
Sarah Louise Battle was born November 27, 1935, in Brookston, Texas. She was the seventh of nine children born to Fred and Annie Mae Huddleston.
Sarah accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at a very young age, while attending New Hebron Baptist Church in Brookston. After arriving in Arizona, she attended Southminster Presbyterian Church for several years.
While raising five children, Sarah worked for the City of Phoenix as a library clerk for nearly 30 years at the Main, Ocotillo and Harmon branches.
Sarah was an amazing cook and loved cooking for her family. She made hands down the best sun tea (ask anyone who’s tried it). She also enjoyed working puzzles, quilting, listening to music and having “her time” in her backyard.
I’m Free
I’m following the path God has laid for me.
I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now; He set me free!
Sarah was preceded in death by: her parents; her husband of 66 years, Wilbert Lee Battle; two sons, Jeffrey Lee and Michael Dee; and her eight siblings Hughley, F.D., L.D., Fred, Henry (brothers), Freda, Baby Ruth and Mae Frances (sisters).
Left to cherish many special memories are: her children Rhonda, Thomas (Brenda), Todd (Margaret), and Kimberly; 10 grandchildren Jodi, Jeffrey, Lauren, Erik, Alexis, Taylor, Tiffani, Jasmen, Todd Jr. and Bryan; 18 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; plus a host of children who affectionately call her “Nana,” as well as nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
We love you and will miss you! Until we meet again...
Sarah Joy Princess
