Sara Stockman Obituary
Sara is survived by her three sons, Samuel E. Stockman, Jr. (Dianne) of Chapin, SC, Charles L. Stockman (Joyce) of Lexington, SC and Paul E. Stockman of Asheville, NC; four grandchildren, Stephen Troy Stockman (Laura), Shane Anthony Stockman (Susan), Christopher Charles Stockman (Stephanie), and Philip Justin Stockman (Jennifer); six great-grandchildren, Emma Grace Stockman, Samuel Henry Stockman, Trent Robert Stockman, Pierce William Stockman, Mya Rose Stockman and Elliott Charles Stockman, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their families.
Sara was a devoted wife and homemaker and also enjoyed attending church regularly, continuing her life-long learning of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Lord graciously preserved her in the true faith until her deliverance on Good Friday. Sara's other hobbies included gardening and yard work, as well as regular exercise at the Cayce/West Columbia Leisure Center. She was a very dedicated mother and friend to many, always quick to lend a helping hand and a sympathetic ear to her friends or others in need.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, Lest any man should boast." "But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians2:8-9; 1 Corinthians 15:57)
