Sara PATTERSON Obituary
age 94, born November 5, 1922, passed away December 24, 2016. Sara was born in Knoxville, TN to James and Grace Gamble Cameron. She lived in Clearwater, FL and Maryville, TN. Following her graduation from Maryville College in 1944, Sara traveled to Alaska to work with Civil Service on the Elmendorf Air Force Base. She soon met and fell in love with Captain Vince Ignico and they married in Knoxville in 1945. Sara lived for adventure and had a captivating spirit. She was a voracious reader, world traveler, successful business owner, tireless volunteer, and philanthropist. Her passion was music and she was an accomplished pianist who loved to play for family, churches and community events well into her nineties. She is cherished by her four children, Robert Ignico (Kathy), Vince Ignico (Bonnie), Grace Ignico, Arlene Ignico (Kathy), and her six grandchildren. Friends are invited to join the family in a Celebration of Sara's wonderful Life on Saturday, March 11, 2017 between 11 am and 3 pm in the Smith Life Center. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Pat Summitt Foundation for Alzheimer's Research, 520 W. Summit Hill Drive, Suite 1101, Knoxville, TN 37902.

My sympathy to your family. Sarather was a sweet lady. I knew her and her husband, James "Pat" Patterson which were a nice couple. They shared a wonderful marriage for 21 years. I miss them. Ruby Howard
