Sara Jane Allen Doerner

Sara Jane Allen Doerner, born February 1, 1937 went home to be with our Lord and Savior and other treasured family members that awaited her on August 29, 2010. She met and married Jimmy Wayne Doerner while still in her teens. They had 3 children together. Their first, Diana Jane passed away at only 4 ½ months due to a terrible car accident in April 1955. Sara and Jim then had a son, Jimmy Jr., in December 1955 and a daughter, Linda, in May 1958. They started their own business, Sardoe Printing Company in 1962 and continued to prosper. Jim's death in 1985 was very hard to bear but Sara proved her strong and courageous nature by continuing the business and designing and building a new home. She was a lifetime resident of San Antonio and spent many hours attending and supporting San Antonio area churches and fundraisers. Her favorite was attending the opening night of NIOSA each year and her family has wonderful memories of attending with her. Sara was everything that a sister, parent, child, teacher, and friend should be, incredibly honest, loyal, and intelligent all mixed with a fantastic sense of humor. She loved her family unconditionally. We will love and miss her everyday. The void left in our lives without her is unmeasureable. However, she taught us to always be strong and follow God's plan and everything will be alright. She is survived by son, Jimmy Wayne Doerner, Jr.; daughter, Linda Doerner Banas; grandchildren, Garry Travis Doerner, Amanda "Amy" Marie Banas, and Andrew "Andy" Stanley Banas; great granddaughter Natalie Desiree Doerner; sisters, Charlene Mallon and Vivian and husband Jimmy Wehmeyer; and other loving family members and friends.
