Sara Austin Obituary
Sara L Austin "Linda"
Preceded in death by her parents, Vernard Ray Loftin and Frances Hinchliffe Loftin, her brother, Ray W Loftin, and her son, Steven Douglas Austin.
Survived by her daughter, Stacey Lyn Austin-Rogers "Staci", and her grandson, Trent Joseph Rogers.
Sarah Linda Austin was a wonderful, kind, and caring person. She was born in Manchester, GA. She taught elementary school for over 30 years in Orange County and even went back as a part-time substitute teacher for a few years after she retired. She loved animals, especially cats. Cats were always cherished members of her family. After graduating college in Georgia, she moved to Florida, where she raised a family of her own. Linda lived in Orlando, FL up until a few years ago when the family made the decision to leave the state of Florida for a more peaceful life in the country. She was a very wise woman, who never backed down from a challenge. She carried herself with grace, as a true Southern lady. Her family and her friends were her everything. Linda's influence will continue to be felt by those who knew and love her for many years to come.
