Sarah-Dearmon-Obituary

Sarah Elizabeth Dearmon

Obituary

Sarah Elizabeth Dearmon, 7, of Midlothian, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 14, 2003. A celebration of the life of Sarah will be held at Swift Creek Baptist Church, 7511 Spring Run Rd. on Saturday, September 20 at 2 p.m. Our fearless and beautiful princess influenced every life with whom she had contact. Sarah truly and fully lived life and loved people. She was a beloved daughter, incredible sister, precious niece, cherished granddaughter, best friend, excellent student, natural actress and enthusiastic cheerleader. She always had a song in her heart and friends on her mind. Her tireless and beautiful frame endlessly served, encouraged and humored everyone. She played with great passion, yet she spoke wisdom, truth and wit beyond her years. In her own words, “You have to face your fears in life or else they will be with you forever.” She faced her fears and followed her Savior. She now stands, beautifully adorned with grace and peace, in the presence of the source of all her passion, Jesus Christ. She is survived by her parents, Jeannine and Robert Dearmon; and sister, Katlin Marie, all of Chesterfield. She is also survived by grandparents, Ken and Adrienne Pedersen of Davidson, N.C., Ron and Leslie Applegate of Midlothian, Jerry and Barbara Dearmon of Williamsburg; aunts, Jodi Russell of Williamsburg and LeeAnne Dearmon of Manassas. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to “the Dearmon family memorial fund”, and can be made at any branch of First Market Bank. A private burial service was held on September 17, 2003.

Not sure what to say?

I haven't forgotten you, precious one. I hope I've done better to honor your fearlessness and legacy. Love you forever and back.

Her dad, Robert Dearmon, is my long term substitute for chorus right now. He told us about her today. He wanted us to sing a song for him because of his daughter. We did of course.

So, all I want to say is that her dad, Robert Dearmon, is my long term substitute chorus teacher at this moment.

I am not sure if this page is checked any longer however I wanted to reach out to the family of Sarah.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your little girl. May her memory live on.

I don't really know how to word this however, my name is Deborah and I am the cheer Director for Salem Church Athletic Association. Every year one girl from each association is presented with the Sarah Dearmon award. This season I asked how come this award was not presented by a member of Salem....

I did not know the Dearmon family but this past week my youngest daughter was awarded the Sarah Dearmon Spirit award in cheerleading. I began to research who this little girl was. I am so sorry for your loss and love the words Face your Fears. Thank you for sharing your story

Even though I was only 10 when you passed away, and I only knew you for 3 years, Sarah Dearmon, you seriously changed my life. Not a single day has gone by that I don't think of you. I know God placed you in my life for a reason, I still struggle with why He took you away. But I have peace in my trust with Jesus in knowing you are happy and watching over all of us. I love you SarBear.

Mr. and Mrs. Dearmon-
