Patton, Sara

March 28, 1931 - February 8, 2024

Sara Wall Patton of Greensboro passed away after an extended battle with breast cancer on February 7, 2024. She grew up in Greensboro on old Lake Brandt Road in a home filled with her parents, brothers, sisters and even grandparents at times but always lots of love. There was a little bridge over the train track back then. She and her sisters would listen at night for the whistle as the train passed by.

Sara was the daughter of Thomas Harold Wall and Kate Evelyn McCuiston. Her mother, Kate, was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In June of 1952, Sara married Charles Frederick Patton and lived in Morganton, North Carolina for the remainder of her married life. Sara and Fred had two children, Sandy Patton Rudolf and Fred Patton Jr. and his wife Jennifer. They enjoyed a large extended family with Sara having four brothers and three sisters and Fred having three brothers and four sisters. There were always many children playing around the Patton Homeplace. These children loved their "Aunt Sara" and she indeed loved them.

Sara had four grandchildren. Mary of Greensboro, Agusta (Nick) of Maplewood, NJ, Andrew (Kimberly) of Austin, Texas and Christian (Jean) of Morganton, NC. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her life and her love. In recent years the highlight of her day would be a picture of her great grandbaby boys, Patton and Rory.

Sara spent her entire life taking care of others. She loved and cared for everyone she met. She was kind, generous and will be missed by everyone who knew her. She is predeceased by her parents, Hal and Kate, brothers Robert, Jack, Don and Frank and her sister, Betty Moore. Left to mourn are her two sisters, Evelyn Henly-Patrick and Kathryn Mims and their families who were so very special to her.

Sandy and Fred would like to thank Hospice of the Piedmont for their services and especially Dr Feng who loved and cared for her the last six years. A special thank you to all the friends, neighbors, and everyone who made her life happier particularly in the last two weeks.

Funeral Services will be held at Grace United Methodist Church on Saturday, February 17th at 11 a.m. with Visitation following the service.

In lieu of flowers, please consider Grace United Methodist Church or Hospice of the Piedmont in her memory.
