Sarah Johnston was born November 11, 1936, in Bainbridge, GA, the daughter of Wyatt & Marie Ward Johnston. She was a graduate of Bainbridge High School. After high school, Sarah worked as a forecast manager for BellSouth/AT&T for forty years. She was a member of First Baptist Church, Woodstock.
Busy as a bee, Sarah was always working on something. She volunteered with various community organizations and was active in the Business Women's Club. Her charming personality made it easy to make friends as a sales associate with Macy's and the local Avon representative. Sarah was active in politics, often sharing her own insight, which led her straight to the White House where she attended the Bush inauguration. Dogs were not just "man's best friend" but also Sarah's. She was particularly fond of poodles.
Survivors include her siblings, Joyce J. Sadler, Buddy Johnston, and Delores J. Zeigler; and several nieces & nephews. In addition to her parents, Sarah was preceded in death by her sister, Alice J. Bowles.
Bryant Funeral Home, located at 105 N. Florida Street, is assisting the family with arrangements. (229-246-3321)
