Sarah Craig Obituary
Augusta, GA—Sarah Anne Craig, 37, of Augusta, Georgia, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the early morning of Wednesday, November 6, 2019, surrounded by her loving family.
Sarah was an honor graduate of the Davidson Fine Arts School where she was an accomplished ballet dancer. She also loved dancing at Social, Inc. where she was chosen for Cotillion Club. In summers, she worked as a lifeguard, a nanny, and at the Augusta Museum of History. Her life changed with a 2001 car accident when she sustained a traumatic brain injury. At that time, she was completing her freshman year at Augusta University and had been accepted to Georgia Tech for the Fall semester.
Sarah is survived by her parents, Daniel and Crystal Holt Craig; her two sisters: Martha C. (Heard) Robertson and Emily C. Stout; eight nieces and nephews: Thomas, Daniel, John, Robert, Sarah Jane, Anne Catherine, Betty, and Stephen; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Richard and Betty Craig, and maternal grandfather, Lloyd Holt, Sr. She is also survived by her maternal grandmother, Louise (Albert, deceased) Parham. Her aunt, Susan Craig, shared a special bond with her and was a frequent caregiver through the years.
The family is grateful to Laquita Boykins and Lori Johann for their loving care through the years that allowed Sarah to remain continuously in the family home. Also, the family thanks Dr. Pamela Salazar and the doctors, nurses and staff at University Hospital and MCG who provided excellent care and compassion to Sarah and her family for over 18 years.
The Holy Rosary will be prayed for Sarah at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, November 7, 2019, followed by visitation for family and friends at 6:30 P.M. at Thomas Poteet & Son.
The funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, November 8, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. at St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church, 4921 Columbia Road, Grovetown, GA, followed by interment at Westover Memorial Park, Augusta.
Contributions can be made to St. Teresa of Avila Church: 4921 Columbia Road, Grovetown, GA 30813, or to Children's Hospital of Augusta: 1446 Harper St, Augusta, GA 30912.

Judge Craig (Danny) and family, I could only now bring myself to say how deeply sorry I was to hear of your precious one going home. Years ago I saw Danny in the grocery store sometime after the accident, I saw the joy in his face that she was spared and how looking after her was a joy. I can say I know your pain of having a child leave you here. My son was 36 akso. May your heart and your memory be filled with the joy of her birth, Early Childhood, adolescence and her early adulthood and continue to cherish the Joy she brought to you, her mom, her entire family and community that knew her. May God hold you close and keep your entire family during this holiday season and throughout the years to come.
Sincerely,Melinda Franklin

I will continue to lift you and your family in prayer, because I know there are many stages to walk through in the days, weeks and months ahead. Being the godly, Christian man that you exemplify, I know you know what Scripture tells us about how to "consider it all joy." However, it will take God's strength, grace and mercy to be able to do that. Just remember that He is faithful, He keeps His promises and the temporary separation won't be long. Thank you for standing on your faith and continuing to change lives through your trust and wisdom from God. His blessings for you and your family in the days to come.
In His grip,....

We are very sorry for your loss, and apologize for not attending the funeral services. We just heard about Sarah at mass this evening.
Sarah was a strong young woman who bore her suffering with grace and is now with God in heaven. Your family has been an example of catholic virtue lived in the real world. We pray your present sorrow will be transformed into the joy of resurrection.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Sarah at Davidson but not well since she was a dancer. Her friend Lydia in that car crash was a piano student of mine. I'm sure after suffering since 2001 Sarah has taken the "express train" to Heaven and is now enjoying the rest of eternity in paradise.

I will never forget that fortunate day,
when we talked, by chance, to make sense,
in logical, legal ways, to no avail,
of how God works in his mysterious ways.
At times we feel blessed as the day she was born,
Other times we feel cursed by God's own hand lorn.
So as to not wrongly question the meaning of God's Will,
We concluded by agreeing that Life seems a roll of the dice;
Sometimes cruel, as nature may be, but then again, she defies the odds of chance, because we know without doubt, that she is now with Christ. May God bless you and keep you.
Very Sincerely,
David
