Sarilee was the best journalism teacher at University High school back when graduated in 1979. I was her student for two years. she was my friend. She always had a smile on her face and taught us the traits of Journalism. I enjoyed her class being the sports editor back in the days! She also was a member at WRS Athletic club where I worked for 27 and retired in 2022. Sarilee always enjoyed the pool. I would tell the members what a great person she was and she helped accomplished the person I am today. I told her many times that she looks the same. I also taught chair exercise classes at the Delaney of Waco. I would visit her many time as we went down memory lane. I will miss her! She will never be forgotten. Love you Sarilee. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sarilee and I taught Civics/Free Enterprise at University High School together in the mid 70's. She was a wonderful teacher, person, and friend. She produced an excellent year book with her journalism students. She always gave her all with whatever endeavor she was involved in. She influenced the the lives of so many individuals. RIP

Sarilee was one of a kind...a great friend, but never too busy if you needed her. Civics was not a class for Sarilee but a lifetime activity. Martha Salome and I shared many a lunchtime visit with her....when she was not in a whirlwind of activity on behalf of some candidate. She dearly loved her children and was so proud of them. She will definitely be missed. Republican Party will never be the same without her.

Thank you, Sarilee for all the work and counseling you gave our Republican candidates and officeholders in McLennan County. You found and groomed so many fine Republican men and woman. You were our "Top Sergeant" and there will never be another one like you! God Bless!

I was saddened to read of the passing of Mrs. Ferguson. Our families had always had a close relationship, especially during school days at St. Alban's with David. My mother especially enjoyed being with Sarilee in her later days.
