Family-Placed Death Notice
GARNER, Sara L. Sara L. Garner (86), of Marietta, GA died June 11, 2013. Born in Cherokee County, GA she resided in Marietta most of her life. Sara was an accomplished artist -- beginning at the age of three with inspiration from her artist father, Lee Garner.

During her lifetime she won numerous awards, perhaps the most outstanding being first place at the Artist Members Juried Show at the Atlanta Art Museum (now the High Museum of Art). Her works are in private collections across the US and overseas, and have been exhibited in many shows and galleries throughout the southeast.
