Mrs. Sara Lee Williamson Watts, age 101, of Fleetwood, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026 at Lotus Village Center in Sparta.

Born in Clayton, Georgia on December 24, 1924, Sara was the daughter of the late Ezra and Leonna Hall Williamson. She lived a long and full life centered around her family, whom she loved dearly. Sara found great joy in being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and her presence brought comfort and love to those around her.

She is survived by her son, Gary Long and wife Sandi of Fleetwood; nine grandchildren; and seventeen great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry her memory in their hearts.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Vern Watts; her daughters, Bonnie Giers and Priscilla Pourron; and her sons, Mike Long and Alex Nash.
